[Occasional 5 speed problems?]

check under right side of tranny where slave is, and left side just below master is clutch

 

[Occasional 5 speed problems?]

flush out old fluid, like break fluid, it has to be replaced. that should get you some pressure, if it looks like this, its burnt

[Occasional 5 speed problems?]

Hey Kyle, I have the same pedal issue, just cant get it at the right adjustment. think im going for the "master" replaced the slave already. I'm also getting a "whirring" sound when it warms up with the clutch in in gear.

Of course I did just drive it cross country and back this month.

[Occasional 5 speed problems?]

I would say getting time for a new clutch. you might want to also try flushing the fluid from you clutch system. It is hydrolic. But it does sound like clutch. No issues putting it into 1st?

I second, or 3rd Kyle and Steve. I just did mine and went with new, not so cheap. The Black Yetti is worth it

 

[road trip fuel puzzler]

Techron is chevrons, I ran save the pieces (STP) , couldn't find techron on the road. and yes the filter change did the job.

after that down shifting helped too

[road trip fuel puzzler]

replaced the fuel filter roadside in Salt Lake, weehaa.

much better. Although tires 3

' bigger and loaded down with several hundred pounds of my sh#t doesn't help im sure, lol

[road trip fuel puzzler]

so, I am 3/4 through my trip from ny to nv

to the point

Truck preforming wonderfly, not even burning oil

today

cruise on, 73 mph, 2700 rpm, throttle drops out like the cable snapped (wtf), if any one here has a manual you know how it feels when you just pull out of throttle.

anywho, so I turn off cruise, and start loosing speed up hill, then up incline, ( in wy at this point, lots of incline)

1/4 tank of gas.

no power when in throttle, no bucking or anything other then truck just slowing. on the flat god as long as I don't put full throttle. wnet and gassed up. went nice for 29 miles then same issue continues. againg no other symptoms other then all of a sudden fab fuel mileage. truck has power, just not under load. Im thinking fuel filter clogged. Did 80 for another 200+ miles. just no power under load.

[AC lift, VS OME who has what]

_{ummm. im done, went with the ac, gr2 front bilstien rear 2"}

[AC lift, VS OME who has what]

2" ac with older tires, I now have 265/75R16 on it

 

[Sludge build-up in head?]

Strange that there is so much difference in coloration, it makes me think that one end might not be getting sufficient oil. You might want to do an engine flush (usually a product that is left to run in a warm engine for a brief time, then flushed out) to see if it clears out any restrictions.

 

I've never run seafoam but I know many here have and swear by it.

As long as it is run just as briefly... what do the direction on the can say?

 

B

the change in color tone is due to heat, the rear of the motor gets more heat.

 

I would like to try the Seafoam, but where I live they would arrest you for the billowing cloud. Interested in other options too

The turkey baster is for removing all of the old fluid from the resivior.

[98 pathy build thread, right]

Todays joy is brought to you by.... Shot slave cylinder.

And so it begins, cause I like clutch

 

The tools;

14mm socket,13mm socket, line wrench's-10mm ,8mm. Pressure bleeder( one of my fav toy's), synthetic fluid.

Im going to flush the whole deal, cause the fluid is almost black.

Thanks Rob once again for the right parts.

I assemble line and slave cyl, to limit drip on floor

I now have a clutch, yay

Brake fluid is getting flushed too, also a bit burnt

[Project Resurrection: The 98 Pathfinder]

_{Check in with Alkorahil, aka Rob on parts. I got my timing belt gear from him ( Nissan) and it cost about the same as the ebay price. Otherwise what everyone else said. Also flush out brake fluid, especialy if its brown in color.}
