Clutch Slave Cylinder

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Remove necessary underhood components in order to gain access to the clutch release cylinder.
  3. Place a suitable drain pan under the vehicle, then remove the hydraulic line and allow the system to drain.

    WARNING
    Clean, high quality brake fluid is essential to the safe and proper operation of the brake system. You should always buy the highest quality brake fluid that is available. If the brake fluid becomes contaminated, drain and flush the system, then refill the master cylinder with new fluid. Never reuse any brake fluid. Any brake fluid that is removed from the system should be discarded. Also, do not allow any brake fluid to come in contact with a painted surface; it will damage the paint.

  4. Remove the bolts and pull the cylinder from the transaxle housing. On some 1.5L engines, instead of a pushrod bearing against the clutch arm, a clevis pin and yoke is used. Simply remove the circlip, pull out the clevis pin and remove the cylinder.
  5. The installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
  6. Lubricate all pivot points with grease.
  7. Bleed the system using DOT 3 brake fluid.
