A nissan tech just told me that it could be either a slave or master leak. Can this be true? He said one lady came in last week to get it done. Cost her 450 to get it done.

If you're under warranty it shouldn't cost you anything. I got mine replaced twice because of this issue with the exact same problems everyone is having. Stop and go traffic, aggressive driving, pretty much when ever you use it a lot in hot weather or when you're driving aggressive and it heats up.

Yea Mark, exactly as you said it. I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem, I need to find out if my car is still under warranty.

Unfortunately.

Luckily the part isn't expensive at all http://www.infinitipartsusa.com/part...layCatalogid=0

IIRC, it's a 1.5 hour job so your lookin at $200-$240 (depending on your area) installed. Also people have said upgrading your clutch line to a stainless steel one helps a lot.

I did some searching on the site but was unable to find this - is there a DIY write-up on the installation of a s/s clutch line? I'm not having any luck finding it.

Just search how to change a brake line. Its pretty much the same thing only it connects to your tranny. And make sure you use a flared end wrench when removing the hose from the line.

just had this problem after sitting in traffic for an hour in 96* heat. Good to know it's not my clutch wearing out. Bad to know that it's not covered under Powertrain Warranty considering it's part of the powertrain/drivetrain. bleh.

So SS clutch line, and DOT4 fluid? How do we check if the Master or the Slave cylinder is shot?

This happened to me the other day while I was at school and isn't the first time. Its almost random. It was about 90 degrees and I was on my way to school. Its about a 30 minute, 90% highway trip and there was no traffic. Well after about the 25 minute highway drive, I get off on my exit and push in the clutch just to find that it sticks about half way out....After driving on the highway!!? Well I keep driving and of course it gets worse because im in some slight stop and go traffic. I get to school, park the car, and go to move on with my college life. Well 2 days later I have to go to the bookstore off campus to get some books for class. When I get in my car, the clutch pedal is stuck on the floor?? It was not like that when I parked it two days earlier. I pushed on it repeatedly and it would not come off the damn floor. So i start the car, hoping it wouldnt stall(It doesnt), and it still doesnt come up. But thats not it. Now my shifter is stuck in second gear(thats where i put it when i park) meanwhile the clutch pedal is still stuck to the floor(even after some pumps attempting to free it). Well I give the shifter a firm push/hit and it pops into neutral and the clutch pedal rises back up. This is so weird. I pump the clutch and it sticks a little but slowly goes back to normal. Keep in mind the two days it sat, it was about 90-95 degrees on the black pavement.

(Also, when I popped the shifter into neutral the rpms rose to about 2k for like 4 seconds then went back down to the normal cold start idle of 1500.)

So is there a consensus on what the best steel braided clutch line there is to get? Agency Power seems to have been mentioned more than once...any other suggestions?
