2007 - 2012 Nissan Versa Clutch Master Cylinder Replacement and Bleed 

What were your symptoms? Clutch pedal to the floor?

Thanks for the comment

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.

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

You're Welcome

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.

@@ODynastyO-xu8tw Mine is still holding after 3 months with the mini hose clamp on it.

The bleeding starts from 8:29

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

Correct. Down, the opposite of up 😅

How did it go, is it fix

Thanks

Thanks, Glad you liked the Video. What year is your Nissan and the Model if is not a Versa? Click at 4:28 about the question

@@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 .

Clutch Damper

What size engine does your vehicle have?

You're Welcome, Glad to help

@@FIXMYCAR hello - is the brake fluid reservoir the same as the clutch reservoir? in other words do the brakes and the clutch use the same fluid? I dont see 2 reservoirs on my nissan cube - I only see the one shown in your video thanks

What year is your Nissan cube? On the video the brake reservoir is shared with the clutch master cylinder

@@FIXMYCAR its a 2011 and yeah thats what I thought thanks much

You're Welcome

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

@@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

When you say Push Rod are you referring to the Clutch Master Cylinder

@@FIXMYCAR yes mate the bit that fits to the pedal

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

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

You're Welcome

did you check the fluid level

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

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

Thanks for the Comment, We will take note

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 seal are the orings on the slave cylinder ?

Is the O Ring at the bleeding connection

@@FIXMYCAR Is this a required step to prefilling the slave cylinder before installation? Small video showing a demo ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sAGOpWfAR9U.html

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

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

You're Welcome, If it is at the bleeder position then it will. Does it do it when in the closed position

@@FIXMYCAR I got further directions from dealer it's fixed now, wasnt aware of second click on fitting . Thanks for responding

@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?

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

@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.

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.

Thank You

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

​@@FIXMYCARso how would one fix that? I made the same mistake lol

If you mean that the tube is removed and not broken then reinstall it and follow from time line 8:28

You're Welcome, by now the part manufacture's should have improved the design of the rod, but it looks like all the brands are still making it out of plastic

?

@@FIXMYCAR this was just a reminder for myself for the correct fitment of the cylinder. Great video👍🏽

Thanks

I had the same problem yesterday, i tried to press and it hurt my finger ,
