It will shift fine if I'm in the city constantly shifting (clutch in, out, in , out). If I don't shift for a while (hwy driving) the clutch has no pressure. I can push it all the way to the floor and the car behaves as if I haven't touched the clutch at all. I have to pump the hell out of it to get any pressure back. Then it will shift normal as long as I'm constantly using the clutch. If not, it goes back to not having any pressure.
At least that was the case...
I went to Nissan and purchased a new clutch master cylinder, put it on and attempted to bleed the system. It was at this point I realized there is no bleed valve. There is a nipple...thing on the hydraulic line near the transmission just before the slave cylinder but that's it. It's not a schrader valve....
Anyone bleed this system before? Is that valve/nipple thing supposed to be hooked to a vacuum pump or something? Rubber hose from the valve/nipple into a bottle of brake fluid then work the clutch peddle to suck fluid into the system?
I'm completely stuck until I can get this to work. Thank you for any help you can provide.
