Do I not have a clutch master cylinder?

Post by offroadkid »

I was reading some posts and I see people have two master cylinders side by side. I do not, just what appears to be a brake master cylinder with a single line coming out of it?

Mechanical clutch vs hydraulic clutch configuration... One of the technological advancements during the 60 Series production run.

Somebody stole it! Looks to me that you'd better buy yourself a hood lock !
( Either that or you have a stock pre 68)

Okay thanks for the info guys!! While I was looking on eBay last night, I ran across rebuild kit for a clutch master cylinder and it said, "New Nissan Patrol 60 Series Clutch Master Cylinder Repair Kit for 1962-69 Patrols."

Seller Notes, “Please make sure your Patrol was manufactured within the date range of this parts application. This was only used here in the states until 1969. Look at the detail picture of the reference cylinder.”

So this prompted me to go into the garage and look!

It means your Patrol has two fewer potential sources of leaks (the clutch master and slave cylinders) :twisted:
