Clutch slip in4th and 5th

[John B]

Hi again could someone please help me, Got a 2004 terrano 2.7 which had a new clutch last year but have noticed that the clutch slips in 3rd 4th and 5th gear when you give it the beans and revs over 4000 rpm but only does it some times and has only seemed to start to do it since the remap. I have noticed that the fluid is dark and starts to bite when the pedal is around 3/4 of the way up.

Yeah thanks I think he is the chap who asked for the details to get his remaped and also hopefully makeitfit will see this post and hopefully advise me on what I need to do. Thanks for your help

If the fluid is dark then you could have a collapsing slave cyl hose that is doing the same as resting your foot on the pedal, check under the motor that you can push the clutch arm into the slave cyl easily, if not change the hose, Rick

Hi thanks for the reply but don't know what you mean by pushing the arm in to the slave, is this to be done from under the car by hand ? also just had a quick look and can see a splitter with a short pipe going to the slave is this the pipe Nd also can see a pipe going to the back of the car what is that for ?

Under the motor on the bell housing you will see the slave cylinder with a rod that pushes the clutch arm, you should be able to push this rod into the cylinder by hand, the pipe that goes to the rear is rubbish, bin it at the earliest opportunity, the rubber pipe plus mounting block is about £13, Rick

Thanks again mate, where is the best place to get the new pipe and also how do Ioose the pipe that runs to the rear, is it a matter of putting a bolt into the splitter mounting block. Thanks again f or your help and sorry for allege questions

[solarman216]

Any local Auto factors can supply and you will probably get one that only has an input pipe hole, if it has the balance pipe hole as well just screw in a bleed nipple, of the shelf from most factors, Rick

The pipe going to the rear was a damper pipe, that Nissan found was a cheap fix to overcome a problem with the clutch on a few vehicles.

Not knowing which vehicles would benefit from it, they fitted it to all, so like the appendix, following evolution, is no longer required in most applications, and like the appendix can give problems, ( corrosion causes leaks etc) so best cut it out.



Best regards,
