I'm just going to order some Motul 600 and bleed it my self. I to get out today and just drive so I can break everything in and after an hour and a half my clutch is going flat on the floor. I barely have any pressure at all and can barely put it into first gear.

Yep, either air in the system or your clutch master cylinder is going out. Luckily its not to hard of a fix for either.

*Keep an eye on your clutch fluid, make sure it isn't leaking.

Well the reservoir is full so I don't think leaking but I'm about an hour away from home and can't even drive. Will the clutch regain pressure if I let it sit for about 30-45 minutes or should I go ahead and call a rollback?

Edit: rollback is on the way. Still no clutch pressure. Nissan better have this fixed for free Monday or I'm gonna raise all kinds of hell lol and they better not and charge me a dime

Well you know the dealership is going to try to say its your aftermarket clutch that is causing the issue and isn't there fault. From everything you've said, I can almost guarantee its the master cylinder or there is a bunch of air still in the lines.

Well I'm heading up there now to talk to the stealership about it and see what say. I'll update after the verdict. They better reimburse me for the towing after they sat there and told me that the "play" in the clutch was normal and to just break it in. Also, is the master cylinder covered under warranty? And about how long should it take to replace?
