Paulz Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Mine has gone out. The replacements I'm seeing have the inlet and bleeder on the end, mine has them on the side, with the bleeder curiously below the inlet. What's right? It's a 4x4 if that makes a dif. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Generally truck slaves have the fitting in the end and cars to the side. This is strictly for truck only, torsion bar clearance and either will work. Maybe yours was changed out for one from a car. The bleeder should be above the inlet to allow air bubbles out. Just a guess but I would say it's from a 720 diesel which has the clutch arm and slave on the left, or driver's side and would have the bleeder opposite to the slaves mounted on the right. A new one, for a gas engine, should be the proper way round. 1 Quote Link to comment

Paulz Posted June 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Mike! The plot thickens, of course. Went to the auto parts this morning, the one they show for a 1980 4x4 is just like the one on there, side ports and bleeder on the bottom. The two wheel drive one has the end connections. Unfortunately my truck is not here, neither is the manual, and I need to get it ordered for tomorrow. I don't even remember if it has torsion bars, I guess so, or how much room there is around it, seemed like plenty. Here's links to the two they have. Oh, oh, just remembered I took a photo of it yesterday. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b/power-torque-4688/engine-parts---mounts-16774/transmission---transaxle-16780/clutch-parts-16462/clutch-slave-cylinder-11336/808c079b207c/power-torque-clutch-slave-cylinder/cs2094/4670887/1983/nissan/720-pickup?q=Clutch+Slave+Cylinder&pos=1 https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b/power-torque-4688/engine-parts---mounts-16774/transmission---transaxle-16780/clutch-parts-16462/clutch-slave-cylinder-11336/808c079b207c/power-torque-clutch-slave-cylinder/cs2093/4670886/1983/nissan/720-pickup?q=Clutch+Slave+Cylinder&pos=0 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Maybe sent in as a core and mixed in with the right side clutches. Maybe that bleeder will work like that? 1 Quote Link to comment
Paulz Posted June 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 My understanding is 1980 is an oddball year for the 4x4, maybe they just used what was around. In any case I have to decide whether to use a side port with the bleeder up top or an end port, which I assume also has the bleeder on top. I can't tell where the torsion bar is in the photo, looks to me like either would work. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I would see if Rockauto has the Nabco or Tokico versions of these as they are made in Japan. A lot of these under 20$ ones are CHINA NOW AND THE RUBBER DONT LAST AS LONG. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 It's really the rubber seal that you need. I got one recently and the 'rubber' was more like soft RTV. I took it apart to make sure there were no aluminum chips inside and to grease the seal with brake fluid. 1 Quote Link to comment
Paulz Posted June 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I picked up the one I ordered at Oreilly yesterday. It's just like the one on there, the bleeder port on the bottom but the hole must lead to the top I'm guessing. I didn't get the cheapest one they had, it was $24, but still probably China. Going out to my cabin today to put it on. 1 Quote Link to comment
