Okay so I was driving my 300zx and I noticed pedal was becoming weaker and the clutch was catching closer and closer to the floor as I kept driving so I checked the clutch reservoir and it was damn near empty and the fluid was completely black so I thought to bleed the line and when I did the pedal didn't get any stronger and now the car wont go into gear and im pretty screwed because I do deliveries for work -_- the clutch is only one month old and so is the master cylinder and I just replaced the slave yesterday and didn't resolve the problem, someone help me! lol

Hmmm, are you sure you installed the slave correctly? If it won't go into gear, thats the first thing I would check lol

Possibly your throw out bearing as well?

well the throwout bearing is brand new it came with the kit, its one of those oem luk clutches, one thing I think it could be its when I replaced the clutch I lost that cover piece for the fork right next to the slave but yeah I believe the slave is in correctly if the fluid is traveling, I hate this damn car lol

Does anyone know how to adjust the clutch pedal on a z32 besides taking out the master?there's too little room to work with under the dash

Hmm... Maybe you need to bleed it some more. I wonder if Z's have that dumb clutch block thingy. And if you do, just probably bypass it and go straight to the slave. I dunno though. Anyone?

Thanks man but na and it's been bled a thousand times I don't get it, I've even try to adjust the pedal but there's literatly no room, go figure. It's still off the road and sones willing to buy it but I'm getting nothing for it since it technicaly doesn't run. Bump advice needed please, took it to machanics and they didn't even want to touch it lol

R u bleeding it correctly? It sounds to me like there is air in the system. If your pedal is getting closer to the floor before it quits working. R u pumping the pedal up and holding it down while someone opens it? Try opening the bleeder and having someone slowly push it down and hold hit, close bleeder repeat. Hope this helps.

well, possibly it could be your throwout bearing. This happened to me after I installed my clutch. The clutch fork wasn't on the throwout bearing correctly or the throwout bearing didn't have enough grease. My friend's dad helped me out with this, since he used to be a mechanic. Well, hope this helps, but I drive a s14.

Yup. Air in the lines. Gotta keep pumping man haha you may need to pump for like 10-15min straight lol!.

JUST MAKE SURE THE RESERVOIR ALWAYS HAS FLUID IN IT.
DONT LET IT GO DRY! :]
