Removing Clutch Slave Cylinder
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Porsche Cayenne, 2009 Porsche Cayenne, and 2008 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.
