Call me a noob hardcore but I'd rather just get it right. Can someone post a pic of this? I got a new clutch 440 miles ago and I've lost half the pressure in the pedal. Is it in anyway possible to go through a clutch in this little time? I will admit this is my first manual car but I don't have any problems driving it. I ShIfT MaD QwIk Yo!

Any help and advice would be appreciated.

 

well its down by the starter...what happened??
I know you said lost hald the pressure...is fluid missing or leaking anywheres??

 

its about 2-4 inches above the starter

 

You most likely need to take the metal plate off the driver side under the tranny to get at it. If you have super skinny arms you may be able to get it from above but it is pretty easy to find from below once that plate is off.

 

I had my clutch for about 3000 miles and the master cylinder blew out... I think you would have noticed the air in the system a little sooner than 440 miles . It obviously wont hurt to bleed it, but just be ready for something a little more serious. The bleeder is on the end of the slave cylinder on the top drivers dide of the tranny.

 

Why don't/didn't you buy a Mazda manual?

 

Gee this will be fun. I know the air in the system isn't the problem. This is just a temp fix til I can figure out what's wrong. I also had the clutch master cylinder replaced at the same time as the clutch. Someone just tell me it can't be another clutch. That wasn't exactly cheap.

I have the manual on my computer. They don't have a very good/descriptive picture of this.

 

if you have a new master, then it might be the slave cylinder... they usually go around the same time.

 

Jose "THE FRICKIN MAN" Hernandez of PNC auto does it again. I just took the car over to him in my spare time. IT was a loose bolt on the clutch pump rod. He tightened it up and all is good now.
