    Hey guy what's going on
    Can't get my car into gear,
    Clutch has no résistance,
    Clutch resevour was empty the other day so I filled it up, It's still full now.
    Turned my car off and on again, reved it a bit and then could shift for about 200m then clutch went funny again and couldn't get it in gear.

    I'm now stuck on the side of the road
    What do I do?

    Thanks

    Is it a funny part to buy like all zed parts or pretty generic ?
    what local dealers sell them.?

    it could be as simple as a service kit or it may need a new clutch slave cylinder (as rob260 said) the whole assy is the easiest way to do it if you can get one easy - DOnt know myself about availability but best effort is to get a tow if possible and go from there you may get home if its not to far gone by filling the clutch fluid up but I would not guarantee it.

    edit
    Everything I have read says its the same as the Navara one so it should not be a hard one to find.

    Have a look under the car while someone operates the clutch pedal & see if the clutch fork lever / slave cylinder push rod is moving.

    Just got home
    Took off in third it's the only gear I could get it in and then plotted my way home praying I didn't get any red lights.

    I ordered a new clutch master from rob260 the other day but it won't be here for a few weeks.
    Hopefully it's the slave

    Is a slave something bursons,repco,supercheap sell?
    $35 doesn't sound right or are they not an expensive unit

    I just watched a vid on YouTube, I understand how they work now.
    I never really gave it much thought before

    Thanks

    I took my slave out and replaced it with this one from repco.
    The old one doesn't look bad though.
    How can you tell?

    You have to disassemble it & check the seals, as well as the bore for wear.
    Is there any sign of fluid leakage from the shaft/rubber boot area?

    Do I need to bleed the line with the engine running or off ?

    Just bled about 100ml with the engine running just to be safe .
    Didn't make a difference

    I still have to pump about 4 times to build pressure to get it in gear

    Engine off, do you still have all the stock lines or single line straight from master to slave ?

    Are you locking off the bleed nipple after each fully depressed pump of the pedal?

    It's two person job

    I haven't got anyone around to help atm so iv just pushed the pedal to the floor and wedged a metal rod between the pedal and the seat rail and then closed the bleed valve.

    Can you telle what this bolt does
    When I got under the car I saw that it was only finger tight and about to fall out.
    No matter what I do I can't tighten it, it just keeps spinning but the thread on the bolt is fine.
