very strange, does it always shift easy when cold? I wonder if the throwout bush is stuffed?

Always shifts beautifully when cold (so far), which is why I didn't immediately assume it was in the clutch or spigot bearing.Quote:

In the clutch master cylinder there is a seal that may be leaking, but leaking back to the resovior not onto the ground so it may not be disengaging the clutch properly, can't see how this would be temperature related either though, its a tricky one. Always start with the easy and cheap things to fix and check first. lol
my missus 4x4 had a problem like that but it turned out that she had piss all oil in the gearbox.
well guys ive had the same issue appear in the last 2 weeks. Just popped up one day, but mine is very hit and miss. Not just when hot, and is hard to change up or down sometimes..
ill try the cylinder first, but clutch has got nearly 1/2 million on it so might change it out soon to be sure..
I'd say your clutch has given its all Kallen and its having a bit of a rest
Well not really.. poped the bonnet to check for leaks from the cylinder.. couldn't see any. Popped the lid of the fluid tank aaannnnndddddd...
No fluid... :o
So ill top it up, and look for leaks..
What is the preferred clutch fluid for Nissan?
