Re: '92 240SX clutch fluid leaked out

JM is refering to the Clutch dampner located right by the passengerside frame rail underneath the car. A fellow 240SX owner suggusted that in order to bleed the air out of the clutch dampner is to loosen the metal line from it's assembly boltdown spots & have the metal clutch line point straight down at the ground. You don't have to disconnect anything, just loosen it so it points down. This will force all the air up towards the clutch slave cylinder.

Also, when you swapped out the clutch master cylinder, did you happen to bench bleed the master cylinder?? Bench bleeding usually helps to get all the air out of the master & make the brake pedal come up quicker. Take the clutch master cylinder & place it in a small bench vise. Screw a temporary small clutch bleed line with a clear plastic tube attached to it to the clutch master cylinder. Place the clear plastic tube back into the reserviour and fill the reserviour with brake fluid. One the reserviour is at the Full mark, start pumping the clutch rod and watch the fluid in the reserviour drop. Keep adding fluid till you see the fluid coming out of the plastic tube & going back into the reserviour. Pump it a few more times to make sure you've gotten all the air out of the clutch master cylinder. At this point, you can then remove the clutch master cylinder from the bench vise & install it in your car. Once the master is installed then remove the temporary clutch bleed line & attached the car's clutch line leading to the slave cylinder. You should be able to bleed the slave clutch now.

Try both these suggestions & see if they help.

Anyhow, hope it helps..Good luck!! ID "95 240SX SE...
