Removing Clutch Slave Cylinder
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The clutch slave cylinder -arrow- is located to the left of the transmission, at the center section of the clutch bellhousing (shown here on removed transmission).
Information
- Once the lead is separated from the clutch slave cylinder, the clutch pedal must not be pressed until reinstallation is complete.
- During removal, do not bend the clutch slave cylinder more than 3° from the installation position. Greater deflections of the pushrod can damage the clutch slave cylinder and cause brake fluid to run into the bellows.
- Unclip the line -arrow- on the clutch slave cylinder (remove retaining spring) and seal using a suitable plug. Pay attention to the seal on the line. This can remain stuck in the clutch slave cylinder. Carefully remove the seal and replace with a new one, if necessary.
- Remove the fastening screw -arrow- on the clutch slave cylinder.
- Press the clutch slave cylinder carefully outwards -arrow 1- . During removal, do not bend the clutch slave cylinder more than 3° from the installation position.
- Remove the clutch slave cylinder to the rear -arrow 2- without tilting it. Wipe off any emerging brake fluid with a lint-free cloth.
