I have a 2006 Nissan 350z Base with 76k miles. My Z has been sitting in the garage for about a month now. Finally decided to work on it because even though I'm storing it for the winter, I can't stand knowing that I can't drive it.

The Problem:

The last time I drove it, out of no where my clutch wouldn't go into gear. I can't get it into any gear when it's on, but when it's off, it goes into a few gears. I've never had any problems with this clutch before. When I bought it, I was told it had a stage 2 clutch. I looked at the clutch fluid and it shows that it has the correct amount. It does look a little dark, but I don't think it would cause my clutch to not engage. After I did a lot of reading about my problem, I believe I need to change either the master clutch cylinder, or the slave clutch cylinder. Would this fix my problem?

If that's the case, is there a detailed guide on how to replace both of them? Will I have to jack the car up? Or can you get away with replacing it another way? I'm asking this because my Z is sitting in my narrow garage.

I know i'm a noob when it comes to working on my Z, but I was told it doesn't take too long and it isn't very difficult. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

 

I started it up in gear the other day and it started driving again. I pumped the clutch server all times before I started it. After driving it around, it started to become hard to change gears. Then when it comes to the point where it doesn't wanna go into gear whatsoever, I shut it off, then turn it back on in first and then it's good to go again for awhile. What would this be?

 

Slave Cylinder going bad?

 

thats what it sounds like... if it were me i would replace both master and slave together

 

Alright I'll do that. Thanks guys

 

did the changing of slave and master cylinders fix your issues???
