| Description of the problem | My clutch would not come off the floorboard. I could not shift into any gear. This happen 3 different times after i would make long freeway trips without shifting. I had 3 different, well established mechanics look at my and do a diagnostic test. As i waited for a tow truck. I found a lawsuit against nissan for a faulty (concentric) clutch slave cylinder! On 2 of the occasions i would let my car cool down for an hour or so and it would be fine. On this occasion, i let my sit over night. The next day my clutch was still on the floor. I fulled the clutch off the floor with my foot. I turned the car on. The car lunged forward almost going into the hotel building. I pulled the e-break and turned the car off. The car was towed to the nissan dealership in renton wa. I had to explain to the dealer about the lawsuit on the clutch slave cylinder. He had not heard of it. I contacted me later and agreed it was the clutch slave cylinder. I was exiting the freeway 2 times and was not able to shift past 2nd gear the two times before. This last time i was coming off the freeway and had to coast into the nearest drive. I was caught off guard , i rolled through one four way stop with my hazard lights on. So not to get stuck in middle of the road. |
