About a month ago I was driving my 1997 xe 2w pickup, and the clutch went out. didn't disengage at all. Managed to limp home by pushing and popping into gear.

I replaced the master and slave cylinders, but haven't replaced the damper. Bled the system, the pedal came up but still didn't completely disengage the clutch. Pumping the pedal brings up some pressure, but still not enough.

What does the clutch damper do??? Is it a dealer only part??

I actually have the same problem with my 1990 300zx and replaced the clutch, slave and master before learning it was the damper which connects my stainless steel line from the master cylinder to the rubber line off the slave cylinder. All you have to do is elimatine the damper all together and connect the 2 lines. It was only put there(stupidly) to reduce vibrations on the clutch pedal. Good luck.
