Default WTF

OK, recently my clutch has been sticking to the floor and wont come back up unless u put my foot under it and lift it up..a couple of time I lightly tapped it and it just fell to the ground but I couldn't shift (felt like there was no pressure whatsoever) its driving me nuts...I bought a brand new heavy duty clutch slave cylinder, new stage 2 clutch, put in new fluid and had it bled 3 times..its a little better now..now when i press it it falls half way down and the other half u can feel some pressure so it still shifts. havent seen any leaks under the car...There is also a clicking sound coming from it when i push it down and when it comes up.. i am lost...can someone please help me figure out what is going on before I shot myself

your thread title sux ***.

there was a recall on some '07 slave cylinders, make sure the one you replaced it with isn't a bad one. not sure what you mean by a "heavy duty slave cylinder"

my 07 did the same thing a few years ago. I took it to nissan and they replaces the slave cylinder and now its fine. I do have that pedal clicking that you're talking about and it pissed me off at first but I got used to it. It still does it but the clutch works fine so i dont really care

The clicking sound doesn't bug me at all...i just thought it was related to the problem. Yea I read some threads on here and thought thatreplacing the slave cylinderwould fix the problem but itis still there..i really dont knowwhat to do now

Is the slave for your clutch kit because tolerances are very precise

Did the master cylinder fall under warranty or are you over your 3/36,000 miles?

I'd be pissed!.
