Did this on my versa note yesterday. Diiferent parts to remove, location of hose is different, I had to oull the hydraulic clip instead of pushing it in but there is enough great info in this video for me to get the job done! The hardest part for me was getting the air out of the master cylinder. Im a 60 yr old single woman with minimum auto experience....if i can do this anyone can

[@whostwo]

What were your symptoms? Clutch pedal to the floor?

[@magicoddeffect]

Perfectly accurate, I just did a master cylinder change on my 2010 Versa 6MT and everything was identical to this. Thanks for the guide!

Excellent video, explained too detail perfectly 👌 one of the best videos iv seen. Is this nissan left hand drive, is there a difference between right hand drive & left hand on this clutch master cylinder part can you tell me. Thanks.

Thank you for this accurate and well filmed tutorial

You're Welcome

[@lizsheil1386]

Absolutely amazing video. Worked perfectly when I was finished. Thank you very much. The only thing to add is when bleeding the system you need to remove the reservoir cap to bleed the system properly.

[@FIXMYCAR]

Thanks and you're welcome, glad the video was helpful for you. Be aware that the reservoir cap gasket is designed with folded extra material, to give without creating vacuum and with out braking the seal as fluid is used. Also, when you have the cap off you want to make sure no debris falls into the fluid and remember that brake fluid is hygroscopic. Meaning it absorbs moisture from the environment so, if you are in a high moisture area or day you want to keep it covered

Hi sir thanks so much for this video i will receive my new master cylinder in 2 day…I hope it just that i dont wsnt to cjange the slave cylinder…Since 1 week enter gesr was more and more harder to do…Today my clutch pedal died completely i was able to drive home some of my mecanic friend tell me slave cylinder and clutch are finished but more i read more i rly think and hope it only the CMC.

[@BoxcarBill]

Thank you very much for this video. My master cylinder rod/clutch pedal junction is worn badly causing the rod to come loose shortly after I re-snap it into place. I put a mini hose clamp on it to try and salvage it and will know in time if it worked. Muchas gracias señor.

[@ODynastyO-xu8tw]

Same here. One of the little 3 prong plastic connection points broke. Slammed the pedal to the floor nearly giving me a heartattack. Luckily, popped it back in and put zipties in X fashion to hold it. Seems to be working. But will keep this video in my backpocket just incase I need to replace the whole thing. I hate that Nissan used plastic for this part of the master cylinder. Dumb. Could kill someone for using plastic.

[@davidturk417]

Just had a dealer do this, along with a new clutch assembly and flywheel. Expensive. Unfortunately, the clutch pedal disengagement now requires the clutch pedal to be depressed almost all the way to the floor, and it engages almost immediately. Is the clutch pedal engagement position adjustable in any way, or is this a function of a new clutch pack assembly? Thanks!

Hello FIX MY CAR, your video is very good. Initially I 've planned to have it replaced at the dealership service, but after watching this I've decided that I'll rather do it myself ! How did you remove dot 4 fluid before removing the cmc ? Did you use syringe or you emptied it via clutch tubes and the bleeding nipple?

@@FIXMYCAR It's a 2014 Nissan Pulsar C13 (I'm from Europe, PL). It uses many parts common with Nissan Juke. There are different part numbers but servicing rules of clutch are the same. I 've already read in service manual that to empty the fluid you just need to slide the tube to bleeding position and by depressing the clutch pedal all fluid will be evacuated .

[@alexandrelaflamme5480]

My car its the clip inside that broke was able to drive it for a couple days but now it wont work at all i will try changing what you just show but is it possible my problem is after the hose that goes in the transmission to the fork that move the pressure plate or my problem would only be ghe cylinder?

[@FIXMYCAR]

How did it go, is it fix

[@garydeandeery]

With the bleeding hose you said push the clip down and pull out abit ? So not like the other one which was pull the clip up then pull hose out

[@FIXMYCAR]

The bleeding starts from 8:29

[@jun_1248]

Yes push the clip down and pull to the second position for the clutch tube.

[@aleksandrlatman1516]

Correct. Down, the opposite of up 😅

[@garydeandeery]

Any advice have the pedal no pressure and stays to the floor. Iv fitted new clutch slave cylinder and it still falls to the floor if I bleed the hose under the battery pull clip up then add pipe into a bottle then press the clutch till the air is gone if the pedal still has no pressure what can I do ?? Iv fitted new pads and disks the car is stuck parked on mud so hard to get under it and advise be great

[@FIXMYCAR]

What was the reason that you replaced the Clutch Slave Cylinder?

[@garydeandeery]

@@FIXMYCAR the push rod not working on the pedal and now has lost pressure in the system so Iv fitted a new one so now it works ok but just need to Bleed it But if the pedal still falls to the floor what’s next ? Cms? Under the gearbox

@@FIXMYCAR it was hard to get at the system to fit lol but did it then it got dark so tomorrow I’m going back to bleed it and fit new pads and disks

Hello I was wondering if you can do a clutch replacement on 2009 Nissan Sentra

[@FIXMYCAR]

What size engine does your vehicle have?

[@ccapdepon]

very good video tk you - is a 2015 Versa pretty much the same?

[@FIXMYCAR]

You're Welcome, It appears that the clutch master cylinder output line goes straight instead of at an angle, also it has a shorter hose to the brake master cylinder reservoir. According to the auto parts information

[@pepehbetancourt3855]

Is this the same motor or trans at the nissan juke 2011 doble clutch??

[@FIXMYCAR]

According to the data system here in the USA it has a different engine and transmission than the Versa but the Clutch Master Cylinder is the same. When you say double clutch are you referring to the Dual Mass Flywheel? In the USA it does not appear to have a double clutch transmission, but it has a Dual Mass Flywheel. May we ask is your Vehicle a USA model or in which country is the vehicle located? We would like to know if they offered a dual clutch transmission elsewhere

[@pepehbetancourt3855]

Yess your correc dual mass i alrrady working on thad tankeiu.

[@robbiewilson157]

what is the valve/assembly thing below the master clutch cylinder? some sort of check valve?? does it go bad?

[@FIXMYCAR]

Clutch Damper

[@torant617]

We’ll explain video !

[@FIXMYCAR]

Thank You

[@garydeandeery]

I found brake fluid in his door pocket so think he had a problem and ran the system dry then topped up his reservoir but too late has air in there now. If I bleed the clutch and still feels soft can I bleed the brakes aswell ?? Is the ABS all together was thinking run the car do the clutch then bleed each wheel from the back to the front see if that works

[@FIXMYCAR]

When bleeding the clutch keep the brake master cylinder reservoir at or above the full line all times, and may we ask why are you bleeding the brakes

[@bigboi9597]

Hey the 2014 versa does not have the same type of slave cylinder I think the hose pulls out to the second click to bleed out master cylinder

[@FIXMYCAR]

On the 2014 the Clip is on the Slave Cylinder, at least here in the USA

[@joshuagibson9196]

Do you have a video on replacing the slave cylinder on the same car?

[@FIXMYCAR]

Thanks for the Comment, We will take note

[@josebojorquez4335]

when the car is on i press on the klutch goes all the way down and i wont go into gear but turned off it does go into gear perfectly can it only be the master cylinder !?

did you check the fluid level

[@Aj-wb5rg]

Thanks for the video. Why is my bleeder fitting at slave cylinder blowing the rubber cap off when I pump the clutch pedal

[@marlanjones]

@FIXMYCAR HELLO. I have a 2008 Nissan Altima coupe 6 spd manual with the 2.5. My clutch went to the floor from 2nd to 3rd. I started taking the air box and stuff off and when I got to the bleeder part on the line with the clip it was already off. Should I just put it back and try to bleed it to see if that will fix it or is it a way I can check the other parts to see if something else is bad?

[@Aj-wb5rg]

@@marlanjones did you lose all your brake fluid as that's what operates slave cylinder

[@marlanjones]

@Aj-wb5rg I don’t see any fluid on the transmission. There is still some fluid in the master cylinder. I said I was going to try to bleed the system. Maybe that line just slipped off. I was driving and it happened when I got ready to shift gears. I’m not sure what else to look for, I’m not not real familiar with working on them.

[@jun_1248]

Hi FixMyCar, I replaced the slave cylinder located inside the bell housing and having difficult time trying to bleed the clutch. I put the clutch tube on second position and pumped the clutch till all the air bubbles were out. Then when I closed the tube and pressed the clutch, fluid started gushing out of the bleeding value. I even replaced the clutch tube thinking that the clip is bad. I did not prefill the slave cylinder with brake fluid. Was this a mistake and do I have to remove the bell housing again to prefill the slave cylinder ? Please let me know. I have a Nissan Altima 2008. Thanks

[@FIXMYCAR]

If the bleeding tube is locked on the closed position, and you still have fluid coming out of the bleeding valve. Check the O Ring, If it's ok see the bleeding procedure from 8:29 time line

@@FIXMYCAR Is this a required step to prefilling the slave cylinder before installation? Small video showing a demo kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXKqgKONm6aFb7c

[@coleyamos]

To bleed the slave cylinder you have to... 1. Open the bleeding tube (Engage the metal clip so that you can pull the fluid line out to that first "open for bleeding" click position.) 2. Press/HOLD DOWN the clutch Pedal 3. Close The Bleeding Tube (push the fluid line all the way in to the "closed" final click position. The metal clip will probably lock down automatically) 4. Bring up the clutch Pedal -REPEAT this maybe 30-100 times. Yes, 30-100 times. It's going to take forever. It sucks. Your thumb is going to hurt pressing that metal clip. Your going to want to quit. But it is what it is. 👉🏻Just Keep Going.👈🏻 Eventually the clutch pedal will stiffen as the slave cylinder is finally filled with fluid and the pedal finally has fluid resistance. Do this until the pedal feels normal and there is no air seeping out of the tube, just straight brake fluid (Step 2). I'm going to repeat this, because it's important, When I say 30-100 I literally mean it took me about 60 repetitions. Here is a rough schematic. To the left is the engine and transmission. And the [ ]'s are the positions the fluid line can be in. Either clicked into the final [Closed] position, clicked into the middle [Bleed] position or completely un-clicked and [Off]. {Eng/tran}---[Closed]--[Bleed]--[Off]---- ***Also Very Important: Make sure the car is level (not on jacks) with the way some of the brake master cylinders are designed it may not work unleveled.*** You can do this, 👨🏻‍🔧 Goodluck

Could you do a video changing the clutch slave cylinder. Cause I just changed my master cylinder and bleed the clutch and the clutch fluid kept leaking out under the car where the slave cylinder should be and my mechance told me that the slave cylinder is not holding pressure nor keeping the clutch fluid in the car

Was it leaking Before the Clutch Master Cylinder was Replaced

@@FIXMYCAR yes I thought it was the master cylinder so I got it changed, then 2 weeks later the same problem occurred my mechanic checked the master cylinder and said it was ok. But the slave cylinder seals are probably bad.

[@azar1139]

What happens if you pull the tube out of the slave cylinder?

If you are referring to the time line at 9:13, then you won't be able to bleed the system, also the fluid will run out
