350Z Clutch Master Cylinder + Slave Cyl + SS Clutch Line Removal & Install

[@jasonrussell1739]

Very helpful! I just did my master and slave cylinders on my ford Ute after watching this video. I had a friend help my bleed it after. Feels amazing. I live in Australia, I spent $150 in total , and was quoted $1100 by the mechanic! Big savings 😮

[@TheTrojanMichael]

Hey mate I'm an apprentice mechanic and I learn a lot by watching your videos PLZ KEEP IT UP 👌👌

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Michael Stewart Thanks for the support bro, much appreciated!

[@brettmills2470]

Remember, always, I repeat “always” use a line wrench for brake and clutch line fittings where the line comes in with a nut (usually 10mm). Otherwise you will strip it almost every time. Pro tip, if you stripped it anyways, hit it with wd/pd and get a small set of vise grips lock them tight and you will succeed! Good luck! 👍🏻

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Hahaha, I've bought flare nut wrenches since I put this video out, too much headache before lol

[@wayneduford64]

Thank you for taking the time and effort into putting a great video together for this specific purpose. I know it is a lot of work and is much appreciated. I am about to undertake the task of putting in a new slave, braided/heat shielded line and, as you say, master cylinder for preventative maintenance. My pedal has begun to stick half way in warm weather. I will also likely keep the old master cylinder and purchase a rebuild kit for the future use.

[@ulrblitzer]

I gave up on the stainless steel clutch line. Was a pain in the butt removing the clip working on my back. Need to make friends with someone who has a lift. Just replaced the slave and called it a day.

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Ze26 Having a lift makes life a lot easier, lol.

[@jeremygalloway1348]

I have TPs so probably way more room than if you're still on stock cats. I used vice grips on the lip...just enough room for them to hold...got a long flathead and large sized wrench(or something that shape/size). Used the vice grips and the body to pry on. Not hard just wiggle back and forth each side...longer the flathead the easier it is. But it's incredibly easy once you're down there and hook it up...I thought it was going to be a bitch. My car is on blocks...maybe 8" off ground. Just enough room to wriggle in there and room for the angle to use your arms well enough. On now to the csc delete kit...new flywheel and clutch...lots of fun can't wait to try everything out lol

[@wasatchm]

that is interesting. I have an 01 frontier and am attempting to do this same thing. the bolt on my hard line is also stripped. and the nut connecting the slave cylinder to the clutch line is also stripped (that I have completely given up on loosening). so hopefully I get get the stripped bolt on the hardline to loosen.

[@Riley1524]

You should install the rjm clutch pedal assembly next. You'll be amazed how much better the engagement is.

[@fullthrottleperformance]

I've been thinking about it, but after I did this I literally can't come up with one complaint. It feels great, so far anyways, lol.

[@brayangomez1784]

I striped the flare nut.😤. I even used a Flare wrench with WD 40 when the first slipped happened. Now I have to buy a complete stainless steel line to replace the hard line/rubber line. Car guy problems.

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Sorry for the super delayed response, damnnn, that hella sucks my dude. At least it's not a brake like from the abs all the way to the wheel lol. The clutch one isn't super hard to change

[@wasatchm]

I think a lot of them were stripped by stupid mechanics. my hardline bolt to the clutch line was stripped in my 01 frontier just like in this video. the nut connecting the clutch line to the slave cylinder was also stripped. I want to put a blow torch on it to get it loose but I am afraid I will start a fire.

[@jeremygalloway1348]

I'm just doing this. Never seem anyone wrapping the reservoir tube before...even on the forums. Actually looking right now lol

[@nick.4.]

Heres the issue i had with this short version line; the oem hard line from the master actually needs to be replaced because it traps debris in a loop under the fender. just replacing with a short line will give you result but it wont clear the lines and give ultimate pressure to the slave. You definitly should consider getting a braided line from the master all the way to the slave, promise it will be worth it! I did a new slave and master with this short line and still had mush.

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Nick Nunez that's interesting, I don't have any mush since I replaced the master, slave, line, and fluid. But that is something to look into, maybe ill do that when I buy a cd009 trans. Do they make a kit for this? If they do send the link to my Instagram if you have one @justdriftcharlie my profile is a picture of my face. There's a few fake profiles of me from some people that apparently have no life. Lol

*ya'll make it look so easy. i bleed my clutch fluid and fill and drain the air out and my clutch still not coming back up. i must be doing it wrong by just draining it into an empty bottle. gonna try to put brand new fluid in a bottle with the hose in it and see if that work in case if air gets back into the bleed valve, but i dont see how air can go back up when the pedal is press down and hold down when i open the valve then close it and repeat.*

[@fullthrottleperformance]

The two man method is very difficult to get the clutch system bled on 350z's. I don't know why, most likely from the design of the lines, but honestly. I love using the Motive Power Bleeder. It makes the job so much easier, and quicker.

[@stevelozano9523]

So I helped replace clutch/pressure plate on 04 350z. Clutch was ok but I think because it needed to be broken in as engagement was looked to be about 1/8" from release of pedal and gears were slightly tough to engage, especially reverse. So son wanted to bleed and he went and opened the bleeder before I got to do anything and clutch went to floor with no pressure and return. After pumping and bleeding no luck of buildup clutch pressure. Need day pressure was up on it's own. I thought maybe best to get new slave. He installed new slave and we just cannot seem to build up pressure, but were only able to get fluid to flow out and pedal still stays to the floor. I figure we're doing something wrong. Any advice?

Thank you for this exceptional video…..just have a question, I recently put a new clutch on my 08 350z and when I shift to 4th gear it won’t take it. Do you think is the slave cylinder that needs replacement? If it’s do I need to take down the transmission to replace it? A newbe @ it.

If you want to respond to this message on IG @fullthrottleperformance916 or @justdriftcharlie it'll be a better way of getting a response. But what do you mean it won't take it? Like it won't go into 4th at all? Does it grind? Or does it feel like nothing is there?

Thanks man! But honestly, I wrote the number on the bleeder hose, but the brake fluid took it right off. I needed a new O-ring not too long ago, and couldn't remember what adapter I used. But I believe it was the 0107, I think that was the number, but look it up. Because I don't remember exactly.

[@FiveNames]

I recently bought a 05 350z and today the clutch pedal has been sticking. Basically I can change gears but the pedal doesn't come all the way out. What could be the problem?

I'd try bleeding the system, if that doesn't work, your slave cylinder is the cheapest first replacement.

Wowww, lol. I had to replace mine at 92k. You're lucky, these clutch's/master and slaves usually fail around 80-120k miles. I'd replace the clutch(if you haven't), the master, and slave. And I'd flush every type of fluid you have. Coolant, brake fluid, power steering, etc. It sounds like you've taken good care of your car though, because I have people all the time..... 99k miles ..... new clutch/master/slave/etc. lol

[@sergiikvasnyi188]

Thank you for the great video! One question, I hope you can help. When using the pressure bleeder, why was the clutch pedal pressed two times? Is it enough to bleed your clutch master cylinder? And how about brake master cylinder, does it also need to press the brake pedal twice?

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Sergii Kvasnyi I re-bled everything again after I was done with this video. And I pressed it a few more times because there was still more air in the system. But in the video it worked great for like a day then I re-bled the system to make sure there was no air left. Personally, I would keep pushing the pedal until no air bubbles come up in your reservoir, after you've filled the system with fresh fluid. Hope that helps, and good luck.

[@sergiikvasnyi188]

Thank you very much for your advise and fast response.

[@Wrappedinadrift]

Clutch has been sticking and looking to replace the slave next week, I was wondering what adapter you used for the power bleeder ??

[@francisbanana917]

Got a question regarding to brake bleeding. Some context: changed my brake lines to braided SS and bled them the two-man method. Although I can stop the car under hard braking, my brake pedal still feels a little soft even though it should be a stiffer than OEM. I did buy the motive power bleeder and bled the brakes hoping it would stiffen the pedal but its still soft. Any guess why it's still soft? Figured I'd ask on this video because the processes are similar. Much appreciated and great content!

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Did you use bottles with hoses on your bleeder valves to make sure air doesn't move back into your calipers? And what type of fluid did you use?

[@francisbanana917]

Yep. Used tight fitting hoses into bottle with fluid in it so no air can get into it. I believe it was dot3 I used in the yellow bottles from autozone. I might have to try bleeding them in a different order. I did it according to the 2003 350z fsm but read on my350z on bleeding order

[@nick.4.]

Good pads, ss lines, bled proper & still mush? my guess is caliper seals going bad. check for small leaks on pistons. if not your booster may have a leak... all bad

Starting in 2007 with the G, the slave cylinder is Internal. On the Z, I think it was 2008.

[@takeovr5594]

Hey man so I replaced my slave & master cylinder today, there’s absolutely no pressure in the clutch pedal. The slave cylinder doesn’t even move because of the pressure so I can’t bleed it. If I crack open the bleeder valve I get no fluid draining from my. Any tips??

[@fullthrottleperformance]

There's two different ways of pumping fluid into the system. You can try from the bottom, at the slave cylinder and try to pump fluid to the top, or the way I did in the video. Or you can use the two man method, which isn't impossible with the z and g, but it's a pain in the ass. All you do is one person in the car, one person on the ground with a bottle and tube attached to the bleeder valve. Simultaneously, press the pedal, then open the bleeder valve, close the valve, then lift the pedal. Repeat for the next 2 hours until you get a firm pedal.

It started with reverse now its all gears. Any thoughts? I ordered a new master cyl and slave. I have a stage 3 clutch w 31k on it never has slipped on me. Could it be simple as adjustment? Or slave?

Yeah, one of them(master, or slave) is starting to go bad. Or you just need to bleed the system with a higher wet boiling point fluid. Like Motul RBF600, I honestly think that fluid is the best IMO.

Hey bubba, I got a question about a grinding noise after a new clutch install. Is it normal to have a rough sandpaper or cement mixer noise coming from my 6 speed transmission after a full clutch kit install? Never had that sound before on stock clutch and it's not a chatter sound, it's a sound like dragging a big rock over cement every time I push the gas peddle in every gear but does becomes less noticeable in 5th and 6th but is very loud and noticeable and annoying af in 1st, 2nd and 3rd evenr time I accelerate from a slow roll or dead stop, oh and theres no noise at all in neutral even if I rev the engine, on when I am in gear while accelerating. Thanks in advance

I have a 2008 g37. 6MT. So when I change gears, I noticed that 9 times out of 10. It’s not silky smooth. I’ve heard of grinding and crunching gears but I’m not sure if this is what they refer to.It doesnt make any noise, it’s just I can feel it. Sometimes it does go into gears smoothly. I also noticed when I’m not moving, I’ll put the clutch in, put it Into gear, take it out of gear and put it back into the same gear and the second time it goes in smoothly. But not the first time. What do you think it could be?

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Have you flushed the trans fluid? And you have a CSC, they tend to go bad easily. It might be starting to fail, and when you initially put it into gear it's not depressing the pressure plate enough to go in smoothly, but after you take it out the gears are perfectly aligned and making it go in smoother? I don't know, just a guess. But I'd start with the cheapest route by flushing the trans

[@boblaney507]

Full Throttle yea I had the Tran fluid changed at my work. I used Infiniti oem fluid. I started reading some comments on Tj hunts video and they were saying that using anything other than mt-90 will fuck up the synchros. Do you think that might be it. The one from infiniti is 75w-85.

[@fullthrottleperformance]

If you got the fluid from Infiniti you should be fine. I know CD008/9's take only GL-4 in the trans, and GL-5 in the diff. That might be what he's talking about, but then again I'd never go to TJ's channel for info on fluids. You can find all that in the factory service manual, just google your vehicle, and "factory service manual"

[@chanandler4567]

If you didn’t power bleed the system, would you have experienced the clutch pedal going directly to the floor immediately after replacing the clutch master and slave cylinders in a Z, due to air being in the system? I’ve replaced these components for other vehicles and the pedal would be spongy prior to bleeding but, it wouldn’t go straight to the floor.

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Yes, z's are pretty difficult cars to bleed the clutch system. I've bled them before without the power bleeder(2 person bleed job) and it takes a lot longer to bleed. And the pedal will go straight to the floor.

[@chanandler4567]

Full Throttle: Thank you for your response. During the bleeding process, does the pedal eventually rise back to the usual maximum height, at the rest position?

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Chanandler you'll need to pump it a few times, just make sure you bleed the hell out of it lol. And keep pushing the pedal a few times to get all of the air out of the master cylinder.

It's much appreciated!!

[@axelito2124]

Have you encountered a squeaky clutch slave cylinder? My clutch squeaks when pressing it sound like the slave is going out

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Yes, but I haven't actually replaced anything because of it. I'd start with the cheapest parts first, and listen carefully to see exactly where it's coming from. And replace the cheaper parts first, that way you don't end up spending a lot, on stuff that doesn't need to be replaced

[@axelito2124]

Full Throttle yea ima do that! It’s weird it sounds like a Creak when pushing down and it feels stiff but it shifts super smooth 🙄

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Weird, maybe replace the slave, if it's just a squeak maybe wait till it starts going bad then replace it. Idk lol

[@white9th193]

Guys do I have to bench bleed the slave ? I have a 2013 Honda Civic si

[@Mohamadmannaa1]

Hey so i installed everything and the hardline that connects the master cylinder leaks every time I push the clutch pedal down. Is it not tight enough?

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Hopefully it's not cross-threaded. Did you find the issue?

[@vr4junkie385]

What brand of Master and Slave Cylinder did you use??

[@carsandcountries4898]

Very nice video

[@yadicerda377]

How did you get that bolt off that stripped ? I’m having that issue right now and need to fix it ASAP !!

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Yadi Cerda Spray it with some pb blaster or liquid wrench(penetrating oil), and let it sit for an hour then get back to it. That should make it a little easier, I didn't use it, I eventually got it. But I should use that stuff more often lol

[@NguyenKhanh-zn4yi]

Can you tell me how do you fit the power bleeder adapter on the clutch master cylinder reservoir?I have been trying it but the two tabs on the side of the reservoir keep getting on the way.

[@fullthrottleperformance]

It's kinda a b**ch to fit and hold on while under pressure. I usually use two zip ties to hold it down. But the two tabs go into the slots on the adaptor

[@MiddletoM]

Good video! Really need to do this to my zed. What ringtone was that? Ava?

[@fullthrottleperformance]

MiddletoM Thanks man, and it's just the standard Samsung ringtone, lol. And if you do, do it on your z. Make sure you bleed the system really well, a lot of people skip out on doing a really good job at bleeding it, and it isn't worth skipping out after doing everything else

[@MiddletoM]

Ah lol, really does sound like angels and airwaves. Anyway, i will just cough up and buy the power bleeder. i suspect my brake fluid could do with being replaced so the power bleeder will come in very handy. ive used the 'one way valve on the bleed pipe' method and its a pain in the arse.

[@slowgoat6089]

Can you tell me why sometimes its hard for me to put my shifter into gear, especially when i drive the hell out of it. Ill be driving my car normally than when i stop at a red light or stop sign i try to put my car in first gear and its like it wont go in that gear or any gear... i have to use all my might to force my shifter into gear...and btw i have a new transmission and clutch.

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Clit Commander Did you replace the master cylinder and slave cylinder?

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Yeah, common issue among z's. I'd check out the master, and make sure it's not leaking or anything. Then replace the slave and do a full bleed with Motul RBF600 DOT4 the stuff has a really high wet/dry boil temp so the pedal doesn't get mushy when under high temperatures.

[@slowgoat6089]

Full Throttle - My master isnt leaking, so should i replace my slave and pray?

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Clit Commander I'd replace both, personally. But if you're trying to save money and time, just replace the slave and bleed it really well

[@jeremyaccardi5182]

Please help! I have done the slave cylinder and the master cylinder and bled it exactly how you are and no more air is coming out. I have a decent amount of pressure on my pedal but the pedal does not return on it's own.

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Did you get it done?

[@jeremyaccardi5182]

I think it's my clutch pivot ball. Taking it to a shop today

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Okay, post your update here after so I know, and other people can see

[@felipegarcia2419]

Quick question, I’m currently replacing the clutch slave cylinder but no type of fluid is draining. I think something is clogged?! What could it be? If it’s the clutch master cylinder then I’ll be good

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Do you have a power bleeder?

[@felipegarcia2419]

Full Throttle I don’t. But I just inspected something. The hose that goes from the reservoir to the clutch master cylinder, it still had fluid in there. No type of fluid was going thru. I took of the master cylinder and I think it’s clogged or something. Once I took it off, a little bit of fluid was coming out

[@fullthrottleperformance]

@@felipegarcia2419 What was your initial issue?

[@felipegarcia2419]

Full Throttle well I’m really hoping it’s the clutch master cylinder. Like I mentioned above, no fluid was going passed that cylinder. And I took it off after watching your video and I noticed some oil fluid came out. Expensive part but I hope that’s my issue

[@fullthrottleperformance]

So, you get it fixed? What it'd end up being?

[@N1S4DA]

Why is the clutch line so short????

[@Turtlefarm]

Bet you’re having issues… you didn’t bench bleed the master.. you need the bleed them separate

[@fullthrottleperformance]

I've done this over 300 times now since this video was made, my daily life is working only with z's g's and q's. And with the clutch master, primarily the VQ35DE it isn't necessary to bench bleed. It's actually not necessary at all with any vq platforms as long as you use a power bleeder. But you don't even need a power bleeder, and it's recommended not to use a power bleeder with the hr or vhr when they have an internal slave cylinder. You probably think I'd have issues, but that assumption comes from a lack of experience on your part. Best of luck with your z or g, since you're watching this video probably means you've never actually done it before.

[@Turtlefarm]

@@fullthrottleperformance lmao.. sure bud. Enjoy your shit petal feel. I do thinks right the first time.

[@fullthrottleperformance]

[@nateacgd1122]

Hey I'm actually about to do this, my question is does it matter if it's in gear or not

[@rollei35mm]

No

[@jairusjoy3334]

So my clutch pedal is doing the sticking thing but it works and I just replaced the slave and it’s still doing it so do you think I just need to bleed it more or a new master?

[@fullthrottleperformance]

You figure it out? It could be either, make sure you bleed it plenty, the two man method works good, but takes a decent amount of time

[@jairusjoy3334]

Full Throttle yeah I did the two man bleed thing but it still wouldn’t build pressure I’m pretty sure it’s the master I adjusted the pedal and it made a big difference and doesn’t stick but sometimes it does so I’m just gonna replace master like tomorrow or sometime

[@jairusjoy3334]

Full Throttle thanks

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Yeah, sometimes you just have to replace both. Best of luck to you tho, hope you get it right

[@jairusjoy3334]

Full Throttle thanks, btw helpful video

[@randybruno5057]

What do you think when the clutch let's go close to the wall? I tried clutch adjustments but still feels the same

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Try getting a power bleeder, and bleeding the system. I've bled a lot of these and it always makes the clutch operation smoother. That's the cheapest route. Other items like the slave or master could also be an issue. But start at the cheapest item first

[@randybruno5057]

@@fullthrottleperformance bleeded and change just the clutch slave cylinder, and it fixed the problem

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Awesome glad to hear you got it fixed!

[@BlznAznKev]

What adapter number is that on the power bleeder?

[@fullthrottleperformance]

I believe it's 0107, but I'm not 100% certain. I bought it a while ago

[@rloney4448]

FT what Power Bleeder model are you using to bleed the clutch system? Also which attachments for clutch fluid reservoir? Thanks! -R

[@fullthrottleperformance]

R Loney Link is in the description for the exact model and power bleeder I got. It's also a Ford model, 0107 adapter. It's actually 20 dollars cheaper than I paid like 4-5 months ago. Only 49 dollars right now.

What short shifter do you recommend for the z/g?

[@danielbabakhanyan5319]

Hey I got a question my 350z clutch pedal has an inch of play on cold start after driving for 30 minutes it gets stiff and sometimes when you push in the clutch about an inch you hear a clicking noise do you have any idea what that could be

[@fullthrottleperformance]

The clicking noise might come from the throw out bearing, have you tried bleeding the system?

[@danielbabakhanyan5319]

@@fullthrottleperformance I haven't tried bleeding the system but when I do here the click it's coming from near the firewall on the drive side

[@fullthrottleperformance]

It may be the throw out bearing, but I can't be 100% sure without being there. Aamco does free diagnosis for transmission related issues. They may be able to pin point the issue, but they do sometimes mis-diagnose vehicles. So, just keep it in mind when they tell you the "issue". If you decide to go there.

[@whitewidowz3322]

Where did you get that power bleeder ?

Thanx!

[@evanmavros1942]

Hey I got a question . My cluth pedal feels a bit sticky on hot days .. almost feels like I’m stepping on gum right at the engagement point . I’m thinking of pulling out the slave cylinder to grease it up u think that’s going to fix the problem ? Or am I better off buying a new slave cylinder all together ?!

[@fullthrottleperformance]

Get a stainless steel braided line, and new slave. It'll be a lot better in the long run, you won't get that feeling, make sure you thoroughly check out the master cylinder. Because if it's leaking or bad you'll have to do the job over again. Slave cylinders are cheap, I'd just replace it. 👌

[@evanmavros1942]

Thanksnman! Any experience with slave cylinders from autozone ? Are they worth it ?

[@fullthrottleperformance]

@@evanmavros1942 I would go to Napa, every time I've gotten a slave or master from Autozone they end up leaking. I'd personally recommend going to the dealer, because the slave isn't expensive

[@evanmavros1942]

Full Throttle thanks for the help man ! I think I’m going to just bleed the line and grease up the slave cylinder tmr .. if anything looks worn out or broken I will run and grab one to exchange.

[@fullthrottleperformance]

So do you have the Rev-Up/Up-Rev 350Z? Non-HR, No dual intakes? If you do then Z1 Motorsports sells the CD009 Transmission for 1700-1800 new or somewhere around that number, or you can pick up a CD009 for in between 450-750 used. Because if you don't have the HR, then your car should have a CD009

[@Thebizkit123]

Full Throttle Thanks for the quick reply man so I have an hr with double intake but I guess in early HRs pre 07 they had a specific tranny but I'm not sure if the ones they sell now would fit

[@fullthrottleperformance]

What's your exact production date? Because if you have an HR, then any HR trans should be fine, but I'll do a little research for you
