Q: I have a 1997 Nissan Maxima GLE and I have no presser on my clutch pedal. If you pump it by hand real fast it will hold presser for a short time.
when you pump the clutch real fast it will hold presser for a few seconds, then loses it all and goes to the floor. when i inspected the slave cylinder the rubber is torn off. nothing covering the pin. could it be the pressure is leaking inside the slave cylinder?? there is no leaking fluid anywhere
My car has 174000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
