Driving home from work today I noticed my clutch was engaging farther back then normal. I normally grabs right off the floor, not almost all the way back. The first thing that came to mind was my clutch has to be replaced. My juke only has 61,500kms on it. I’m the 2nd owner & not very hard on it. I don’t know how the 1st owner was on it. To make it more fun, the MR16DDT uses a Renault sourced clutch. It’s the only Nissan that uses that clutch.

I can already feel my bank account crying.

Is it a cable clutch, could the cable have stretched a bit similar to the way parking brakes stretch

It’s hydraulic. I’m not sure if there are any cars sold in the USA with a cable any more.

It should have a Nissan part number. Doubt it’ll be any more than most clutches.

Doubt it’s the clutch if it happened quickly. Clutch travel takes a long time to change and even longer to realize that it’s moved.

Small leak in the fluid reservoir?

61,000 km’s could be enough if the previous owner was hard on it. When I was last car shopping I was amazed at the number of CarFax’s I saw with a clutch replacement under 30,000 miles (to be fair they were all VW’s). It is an expensive clutch. Not a whole lot you can do about that one. Looks like they go for about $500. I would go ahead and just replace the slave cylinder while you’re in there too. If it makes you feel better I had an odd duck Hyundai for a while that had a $750 clutch kit.

It’s possible. Also possible it is a leaking master or slave. Problem with any of those is that they cause premature clutch wear so it probably means replace the whole clutch anyway. The Juke uses a concentric slave so you’re in for about $800-1000 in labor to pull out the transmission to change it at which point you may as well put in a new clutch too.

Fair enough, good luck with the juke

but its not typical for it act that way. All Jukes have touchy clutch to bites right off the floor. Not really vague, & bites far back.

The big thing isn’t going to be the clutch. It will be the labor, and possibly the dual-mass flywheel (Most cars have dual mass flywheels now to absorb some of the shock when being sloppy with the clutch).

It also be an engine out job, labor be the killer on it.

Guessing its a Hydraulic clutch? Possible it got low or theres an air bubble in there. Try bleeding the clutch cylinders or even changing the fluid.

Can dual mass flywheels not be resurfaced? I can’t imagine he’d need a new flywheel with so few commie miles.

Most cannot, unfortunately. That’s because the transmission (i.e. clutch side) and the crank side are connected by springs. That means the whole thing tends not to stay still when required during the resurfacing process.

It’s _possible_ to do it, but most shops (and almost all main dealers) will not touch a resurface job on a DMF.

I’d check the hydraulics first, MUCH cheaper. Also some checks from Eric the car guy. He’s never lead me wrong, yet.

Edit: You don’t need to be mechanically inclined to do these either.

Nissan service manual says that only the transaxle needs to be removed. This requires dropping a front suspension component.

It’s probably easier to do dropping the engine cradle, but it should theoretically be possible to do it with the engine in the car, but probably many many times more annoying (like *someone* giving up a SH goal this evening)

not a leaking master or slave cyl?

Just found this while clearing off my desk. See if you can beat this insanity I had to deal with last year (prices USD). My local shop is awesome and labor was reasonable. But holeeefuck that Hyundai OEM price. They let me bring an aftermarket one I bought online but it didn’t fit. Apparently Hyundai changed the output shaft diameter 3 months into production and so clutch kits for early production CM Santa Fe’s are rare and cost a fortune.

Edit sorry phone number was on it

Ok this is better...
