Clutch Problem - Yes I've Searched
OK, I've read every clutch thread on the forum, but haven't seen my situation. I'm hoping someone might be able to help out here...
2004 G35 6MT 80,000 miles
A few days ago driving at a relaxed pace, I went to switch from 2nd to 3rd gear and something "popped" in the clutch. The pedal stuck to the floor, and even if I pulled it up there was zero pressure. So I towed it home.
I looked under the car and saw that the clutch slave cylinder was blown. I ordered a new one, and replaced it this morning. It was taking FOREVER to bleed the clutch, after about 15 rounds of "pump 5 times, hold, and bleed"; the new slave cylinder blew out. It looks like the push-rod in the slave is over-extending.
Any thoughts on what could be the cause???

It looks you have old style clutch fork which is a stamped fork, these tend to bend and/or the pivot ***** break. You are correct the slave cylinder is leaking because it is overextending. The solution to this problem is our upgrade clutch fork package which can be found HERE
Let me know if I can help you with anything else,

If your going to replace this fork/pivot ball you should go ahead and look into replacing the clutch and throw out bearing also. No need in dropping the transmission to have to do it again later.
