PUSHER Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Story: was at a driving event and in the middle I notice my clutch is engaging really wierd, I had to push it all the way down to get it to engage. I pull into the pits, its very very low on clutch fluid so I fill it up. I go back out, its spongy then starts to stiffen up. Then I go dry again, and can not shift at all. So I add fluid and Bleed the clutch, This works until I notice it going spongy again. I call it quits then. That is whats leaking, for reference, that picture is taken upside down. The J on Japan is facing the rear of the car. When I push down the clutch a jet of fluid will squirt out of their. It leaks out of that rubber boot.

JMortensen Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 It is usually recommended that you replace both the master and slave. Might want to flush the hard line too, and check the soft line for cracks while you're in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 always good to replace in pairs, even though I didnt do it this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Your clutch slave cylinder is leaking (1st pic you posted). You might not be able to find the manually adjustable slave like you have. Later ones were self adjusting. If that is the case, then just use the pin with the threaded end from the one you have now in the new slave. The internals are the same. To use the self adjusting slave pin you need to change the throwout fork, which requires pulling the transmission. I like the ability to adjust the clutch manually anyway. I'd still say change them both. If you don't and crud goes down the line into the new slave, then you'll have the same problem not too far in the future.

JMortensen Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 That should do it. Pretty good prices too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hey. Thanks for the links! Need the same parts myself. BTW. Might be a good idea to put in new rubber hydraulic lines too. Not as critical as brake lines, but this way you will be good to go for the next 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
