How do you know if your clutch is going out in your 1991 Nissan Pathfinder?

If you are driving along an press down on the accelerator and the engine RPM's increase faster than your speed{MPH}, that is an indication of a slipping clutch. That might be able to be adjusted unless you have a hydraulic cluth actuator. If your clutch is hydraulicly actuated and the afore mentioned slipping occurs, then your cluth is worn uot and needs replacing. If there is a lot of chattering and or wierd noises happening when you operate the cluth, then possibly your throw-out bearing is bad. If this is bad, it only makes sense to replace the clutch disc and pressure plate at the same time since all three are inside the clutch bell housing that is between the back of the motor and your transmission. Sometimes you can buy a kit that has all the items necessary in one group for one price and then contract with a mechanic to install them for you therefore saving some money.


How do you adjust a hydraulic clutch on a 1989 jeep--- what i mean is you have to push the clutch all the way to the floor to change gears. is there air in the line is there a way to bleed the line?

hydraulic clutch does not have adjustment. replace the clutch it has a slave cylinder underneath and what you do is pump up the clutch and then hold it and have somone turn the line going itno th slave cylinder until you have clear fluid that is not how you bleed a clutch to the jeep owner, if you know how to bleed brakes on a vehicle, then you know how to bleed the clutch on a vehicle both done the same way.now if no parts of the clutch, such as master or slave cylander have been touched or let run out of fluid, there is still no need to bleed as that will not be the problem you might look at the linkage on the slave cylander. sometimes there is nylon bushing on the cylander rod that wears out. replace this bushing which is easy to do and your clutch will be good again.
