Clutch question! 1989 Nissan pickup truck, 4X4. Occasionally (approximately 15% of the time) when I depress the clutch to change gears, the clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor with little to no resistance. When I release the clutch and depress it again, it engages as it should. I suspect something in the hydrolic system of the clutch, but have never had this happen before. Please give any advise.

Thanks, Larry

If I were you I would replace the clutch. If it is not bothering you or causing other problems you could probably get away with leaving it as is, but to be safe, replace. It is not too expensive to replace and will save you a big headache.

On the passenger side firewall there is a litle distribution block mounted there? the line runns from the resivoir down to this block? and then onto the slave. The block itself has a bleeder nipple but so does my slave? is this neeeded in there or can i elimenate it seeing as the line is broke off on the bottom of this block... Can i run a direct line from the resivioire down to my slave?

I have a chevy s-10 4.3L, extended cab, manual shift, i noticed when i first got the truck that the clutch would sometimes slip, never really paid it no mind just went on with it and its been 2 months and i was going to meet someone and when to stop and the clutch went to the floor with no resistence.. so i coasted into a parking lot. ive had different opinions on the problem. some say its the master cylinder and some say the slave cylinder and some say its the clutch all around. the fluid is fine and the master cylinder was replaced about 8 to 10 monthes ago. i need help with the problem.

Thanks,

Jacob
