~Boat Parts in my Nissan Xterra~
During Remembrance Day holiday weekend (Veterans Day in the US), I had plans to go camping for a few nights with some friends and their girlfriends. Unfortunately, I didn't even make it to the first night. While driving up island, I started having issues with my clutch pedal not reacting properly and pressing back up once I had shift(ed) gears. It first was slightly noticeable as I was driving on the highway the pedal seemed weak and I had to slip my foot under the clutch and pull it back up manually. Then while going through a drive-thru, it completely stopped working which resulted in me stalling the X in the middle of the drive-thru. To get out of this, I had to get out of my car and lift the pedal with my hand to engage the clutch... I should've realized this was a fairly serious problem but still had it in my mind that "maybe I could go camping for one night and skip the other two". Once I was back on the highway, I had to make a U-turn to get to the turn off so after doing that, I was merging back on to the highway and my clutch pedal completely dropped which resulted in my car stalling in the merge lane and I slowly came to a stop at the end of the lane, on the side of the highway. I was 99% sure I knew what the issue was, it just sucked because I knew 1) I wouldn't be joining my friends on the trip and 2) due to it being a holiday weekend, I didn't know if I would even be able to find parts to fix the X within a reasonable time. I called my friends and let them all know the news then starting calling shops to see if they had the part in store... all shops had to order the part in. While talking to one buddy though, he was confident we could fix the issue and told me to have it towed to his marine shop approximately an hour away.
Fast forward to having the X towed to the shop, that night we went to work on the X and found the issue to in fact be what we thought, the 'Orifice Assy-Clutch' and part of the hardline that connected the master cylinder to the slave cylinder had completely rusted out and therefore was allowing all the brake fluid for my clutch to leak out. Through some quick research, my buddy found that Nissan owners often remove this orifice anyways and it more or so seemed that it was almost unnecessary. We had a couple different options on how to fix it in which you'll see in this video...
I hope you enjoy the video, especially if you find yourself in the same issue with this part in your Xterra or Frontier. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
