J240ZTurbo Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) Hi all, scratching my head here on this one please help me. I just installed a 5spd N/A tranny with a new Centerforce clutch and a new slave cylinder and here is my problem. I try bleeding the clutch but nothing is happening I feel the fork has no preasure and the slave cylinder keeps coming out???? It feels like the fork needs to push the slave cylinder back, I am sure all was installed properly but just weird?

JSM Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 What do mean the slave cylinder is coming out? Pushing against the fork or the little piston us falling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J240ZTurbo Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) pushing agains the fork. I dont feel any preassure on the fork pushing back on the slave? Edited July 4, 2010 by juan240z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyz77 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 juan .. when i did my turbo swap , i kept the 77 z 5 speed tranny, but the pin that pushes the fork (on the slave cylinder) had to be changed.. you can check the length of the pin and you may find that if it is longer it will engage the clutch.. check it out and this may be your issue.

loy Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Did you reuse your old release bearing collar? Also what was the Centerforce clutch kit advertised for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J240ZTurbo Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Guys I now notice I got no presure to my new slave, I see no leaks , do you guys think I need a new clutch master cylinder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 So when you open the slave bleeder valve do you get fluid to drip out? What if you open it and gently pump the pedal once or 1/2 way. Don't want to force all the fluid out. If no fluid is coming out, I'd assume the piston is siezed in the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 If nothing comes out at all I would remove the entire slave and pump the pedal a little to see if any fluid is flowing to the slave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J240ZTurbo Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Jeff when I open the valve on the slave yes fluid comes out, I try bledding it many times but I see no preasure going to the slave and no there are no leaks weird????????

JSM Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Juan, your car has been sitting for a long time yes? Did you replace the firewall cylinder as well? Those will go bad from sitting too. First, I would remove the slave, remove the outer rubber boot and the bolt/ pin (Clutch Rod) that pushes on the fork. It will likely come out as one piece when you remove the rubber boot. Gently push the piston in with a small screw driver. It should move fairly freely in and out. There is nothing to the slave clyninder. Should be a piston w/ a rubber seal and a spring and that is it. Not it, but very similar. http://www.fjparts.com/clutch_slave_cylinder_diagram.htm Edited July 7, 2010 by JSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
