clutch sticking mid release

fosingwo · 10-13-2011, 08:58 PM

This morning I drove to class and everything was normal. No aggressive driving or anything. After class I started up the car and I notice the clutch felt mushy at the first coupon inch then the normal clutch pressure. I drove home and everytime I change gears it would come back up stick then pop the rest of the way. I'm not shifting fast or anything. I let go of the clutch slowly and at the mushy point it sticks or slows down then pops all the way up. Its really weird. Only thing is its been raining for the past couple of days but I dont really think it can be that. What do you guys think

will this be cover under warranty. I just got the car recently and waiting on the warranty transfer

Did you check your fluid level?

i get that sometimes but after the car warms up a little it seems to go back to normal.

yea i check the fluid and it still full. I think one of the cylinders is going. It has gotten worst its at the point where its exactly where the clutch grabs so Imma stop driving it and wait till my warranty transfer go into effect and make an appointment. I talked to the previous owner and he had the same problem before and the dealer replace it at 15k now im at 46k. Even wit the car fully warmed up it still does it and the more i drive it the further down it get stuck

so in the garage it goes. Good thing I just picked up a beater for the time being

Damn! Same crap happened to me yesterday! at 15K i had to replace the clutch and now at 42K it died again! Damn you Nissan!

Sounds like a master cylinder problem.

they replace the master cylinder then on the way back it happen again. now they're saying the slave went -_- and they don't have the part in stock and have to get it from japan. and they won't give me a loaner because the car is not being fixed at the moment...

Please call corporate and report it to them so that they have it on file. It would help everyone that has the same problem when trying to get Nissan to pay for it.
