Another reason why I hate Atlanta heat...

jadeb0x · 07-28-2010, 06:45 AM

so i get into my car this morning to start it, and my left foot pushes the clutch all the way in. i check the clutch fluid level, completely empty!

next i search the forums, and seems like this just happened to another member out in texas. i wasn't doing any hard driving, just the occassional downshift to pass a car if anything on the interstate.

i drive my car a lot, and with the heat combo... i think it led to the clutch slave cylinder failure. now lets hope the security plus gold package that i purchased helps with the repair, and that my few mods don't "void" anything.

just came back from Sutherlin Nissan, and they're going to fix the car under factory warranty. I have 21,xxx miles on it. No real reason as to why the clutch master cylinder went out, but i'm glad it did so while under warranty.

sad thing is that i may not have my car back in time for C&O this weekend, oh well!

I'm suprised it crapped out so soon.
