This is a Genuine Nissan clutch master cylinder designed for the Nissan Navara D40 and Pathfinder R51 models built in Spain with a VIN starting with VSK, specifically for vehicles manufactured before January 2010. Fitted to the firewall in the engine bay, this component connects directly to your clutch pedal. Its function is to convert the mechanical force from your foot into hydraulic pressure, which is essential for disengaging the clutch to allow for smooth gear changes.
Over time, the internal seals within the master cylinder can wear out, leading to fluid leaks or pressure bypassing the piston. This results in a loss of hydraulic integrity, manifesting as a spongy clutch pedal, difficulty selecting gears, or the pedal dropping to the floor. This cylinder features an aluminium bore, which tends to wear more than a traditional steel bore, making a complete unit replacement a far more reliable and long-lasting solution than attempting a rebuild with a seal kit.
Installation is a moderate workshop job that requires access to both the engine bay and the driver's side footwell. After fitting the new master cylinder, the clutch hydraulic system must be thoroughly bled with fresh clutch fluid to remove all air and ensure correct operation. While replacing the master cylinder, it is strongly recommended to inspect the clutch slave cylinder and the connecting hydraulic hoses for any signs of wear, perishing, or leaks.
