- Found in vehicles with a manual transmission
- Replacement is best left to professional technicians
- An OEM clutch master cylinder is highly recommended for this installation
Your Nissan's Clutch Master Cylinder, a car part often installed on manual vehicles, acts as the hydraulic pump for the clutch system. When you press down on your Nissan's clutch pedal, your Clutch Master Cylinder sends essential fluid down towards the clutch slave cylinder. This cylinder then detaches the clutch, which allows the engine and wheels to turn freely.
A failing Clutch Master Cylinder can present a huge vehicle hazard. When damaged, the master cylinder can negatively impact clutch engagement, which can cause jerky behavior and regular stalling of your Nissan. Or worse, your Nissan may not drive at all!
The Clutch Master Cylinder is a hydraulic car part, meaning that it's more susceptible to leakage. Fortunately, before this component fails altogether, it may produce a few warning signs.
Common challenges with a damaged master cylinder include difficulty shifting gears, a spongy, soft, or fully depressed clutch pedal, and discolored or low clutch fluid levels. Although low clutch fluid may point to leaking in the system, discolored fluid can be indicative of old age and wear of the master cylinder. If you notice one or all of these symptoms, get an inspection at an authorized Nissan dealer or service center right away.
Can you install a new Clutch Master Cylinder at home? We strongly advise leaving this repair to the experts. This car part needs to be installed properly. And if done the wrong way, your ability to drive could become affected, and you run the risk of damaging your Nissan's transmission.
Using the wrong Clutch Master Cylinder can result in irreparable damage to transmission system and your vehicle! To make sure you get the best fit, buy authentic OEM components from Nissan Parts.
