Or maybe the slave Posted by RS [Email] (#15) [Profile/Gallery] (more from RS) on Wed, 3 Aug 2005 18:16:24 In Reply to: clutch just dropped completely to the floor....?master, scott batchelder, Wed, 3 Aug 2005 18:01:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Easy check to see if it's the slave is to check for brake fluid gushed onto the skidplate. My experience is that the master cylinder dies a slow death, lengthened by a few pressure bleedings, but the slave cylinder just gives up the ghost all of a sudden.
Rebuilding masters and slaves is kind of a crapshoot. You don't know the conditions of the cylinder bores or the spring (in the master) until you open them. FWIW, I've had good luck doing rebuilds. Other people haven't been so fortunate.
But, rest assured that, if you rebuild or replace the master cylinder, the slave cylinder will shuffle off this mortal coil in the near future because flushing the system with fresh fluid washes the crud that seals the imperfections in the old O-ring seals.
