Clutch Master/Slave Help
What's up everyone, I'm new to the forums from good ol' PA.
So here's my issue, I have an 03 Sentra SER Spec V. Just dropped in a new Clutchmasters Stage 3 Clutch Kit and Fidanza Flywheel. It seems that the pressure from the clutch is blowing out the seals within a week. The replacements were a perfection brand from advanced auto. My question is, is there a certain brand out there thats made to withstand higher clutch pressure for the Spec V? I'm already putting on a steel braided line to help, but some of the brands I'm seeing is of course Nissan OEM, Nabco, Wagner, Beck&Arnley. And there is a Nismo brand slave cylinder but no master. Any advice on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated! |

youre blowing the seals on the.... master/slave cylinder? which pressure plate are you using? are you sure they are being installed properly? i mean, you are using a stage3 clutch, which is very harsh. also what fluid are you using? you should be using a high performance fluid, like ate super blue or something. normally the rubber clutch line gives slack to the rest of the system, replacing it with stainless, normally is a good idea, might not help your situation until you find the weak point. the weak point should be the rubber line, but in your case its one of your cylinders. however, your cylinders could be working double time to move the clutch, the rubber is giving unneeded slack.
really its just a hydraulic system that moves your clutch, did the car drive good while it was working? is it possible that one of your lines is becoming clogged or something?

sounds like the problem I'm having with my 04 sentra except that I use oem clutch and have replaced the clutch master cylinder twice already not quite sure which brand I used but it lasted for like 4 months and the fluid started leaking... I'm trying the centric parts one now....good luck finding out what the problem is
