S13 clutch slave keeps failing? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Had a new spec stage 1 clutch put in with new flywheel, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and new master and clutch slave put plus deleted damper box. Question is my slave keeps blowing the rubber boot off and losing pressure it is OEM and this is now my second one replaced within a month? Any reason why this is happening? Any insight would be appreciated!

If its blowing the boot off...maybe adjust your clutch pedal to not have to push so much. Maybe your pushing too much pressure/fluid thru the slave causing it to max out and pop

To do this crawl under your dash and adjust the nut on the clutch pedal and reduce the travel of it.

I'd start with that.
I never ever blew a slave but I like my clutch just enough off the floor to safely, and completely engage/disengage. Found it easier to slip the clutch too because my knee was t so high up. I'm not super tall, but tall enough if my pedal was too high, I'd bump my knee

I have tried that today reduced travel and new slave blew push rod out of boot... Would the dampener relieve some pressure on slave I started having these problems after I deleted them.

Shouldn't
First thing I've done on all 4 of my s chassis was remove the dampner.

If your still blowing it
Make sure your pedAl is engaging the lowest point off the floor.
Rebleed your system

Really thing only thing I could think of now is your clutch fork and tob. Assuming the correct ones were installed and nothing is bent/messed up

And you have the correct slave for your car.
