It will not come up all the way, it's about 3-4" lower than it should be.....clutch master cylinder, slave, throw-out bearing, pressure plate......Whats the problem?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>???

That happened to my car and it ended up being the slave cylinder. You should check the fluid and make sure its full.

I agree with JoseS13. &nbsp;It's most likely your slave cylinder. &nbsp;I just got my clutch done last week and the mechanic said my master cylinder was fine, but my slave was leaking, so I'm gonna put a new one in this weekend. &nbsp;Hopefully that resolves my problem...

How much is a slave cylindeR? Mine moves very very slow now. I noticed whne I was bleeding it after I put in the new clucth that is makes a swoosh noise. When I drive it hard it sounds kinda like a quiet BOV. lol. Its kinda cool.

Mine is doing the same thing. &nbsp;It engages nicely, but won't fully disengage. &nbsp;Mine feels more like a worn out return spring on the pedal than something in the hydraulics. &nbsp;Nothing is leaking though. &nbsp;Can someone take a look at their clutch pedal for me? &nbsp;You should be able to see the spring right at about the pivot point, I just want to know if its supposed to be "kinked" in the middle of the spring or not.

The slave cylinder regularly costs around $55. &nbsp;I'm not sure because my mechanic gave it to me at cost which is like $23.95. &nbsp;I'm not sure if that's a great deal or a deal at all. &nbsp;Call your local auto parts shop and find out.

you can get a slave cylinder from http://www.oem-car-parts.com for 23 bucks i think...somewhere in the twenty dollar range anyways...and the person that asked about a picture of the clutch pedal and stuff...i think that at http://www.240sx.org on there faq page they have some diagrams for clutchs...hoped this helped

Well, I found the problem and it was the throw-bearing...damnit! It was a fun job I'll tell ya' that. As far as the slave cylinder it was fine no leaks. I have to give prob's to www.Courtesynissan.com gave me a nice little discount for being a www.240sx.org member... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
