Gen 1 Nissan Xterra Clutch Master Cylinder Replacement (Parking Lot Fix!)

At the exit to a busy parking lot, the Xterra’s clutch failed suddenly. No pool of brake fluid from the slave cylinder, so it he master cylinder had breathed its last! This is a parking lot fix, but I needed all of my tools for this job, definitely needed multiple items. Please enjoy, hope this video helps somebody.

Hope you were able to do it at home instead of a parking lot around traffic. Glad this helped you

Hello, could you tell me where the clutch sensor is connected? I changed my transmission from automatic to manual but the pedal does not have the connector and I don't know where it should go.

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder before installing it to the truck???

[@ijfim]

No, I “gravity” bled it since I was stuck in a parking lot. Took way longer

[@Elquenosequeda]

Okay

[@edwincruz-droz1272]

Should I replace both?

[@ijfim]

They are relatively cheap, if you have a Gen 1 Xterra, it is 22 years old…mine died abruptly in the middle of traffic! The slave cylinder is way easier and only $25.

@@ijfim I purchased both just now, preventive maintenance I guess🤷. Slave was like $17 and master was about $62

Might take a while to bleed, have fun!
