Slave Clutch Cylinder
hey mxers
i need a second opinion. My car has been sitting for about 8 months its getting redone. I went to start it up lastnight when i put the clutch in i heard a loud pop sound ( kinda like a cable snapped) but its not a cable clutch its hydraulic which im assumg you guys would know that. But now the clutch peddal is extremely hard to push in, i mean it takes alot of pressure to even move it down just a bit, when it is pushed down the clutch peddal doesnt come back up on its own, i gotta pull it back up with my foot.
Does this sound like its the Slave? or is something seized? i dont think its fluid related. the clutch isnt engaging enough to even roll the car over
any opinions or help would be awesome. just before i go ahead and order the slave

Re: Slave Clutch Cylinder
I mean it's either the slave cylinder or the master cylinder that's right behind the clutch pedal. There's not too many parts on the clutch pedal linkage that can go wrong, both parts are fairly affordable.

Re: Slave Clutch Cylinder
I disagree. Unbolt the slave from the tranny case and have someone slowly depress the clutch to see if the piston moves freely when it's not pushing on the clutch release lever. I bet a dollar it will...which means that probably the clutch release lever and/or bearing is the problem.
My bet is that the release bearing is siezed on the input shaft and the release lever is buggered somehow.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: Slave Clutch Cylinder
I agree further testing and inspection is needed, but I'm not buying the buggered release bearing theory. The release bearing is not that tight to the input shaft - it doesn't spin on the input shaft but rather on the fingers of the clutch pressure plate. It seems unlikely, but could one of the fingers be broken?
This would be a great project to justify purchase of a borescope. I guess I want one so have been looking for a reason myself. Then you might pull back the boot around the release fork, or pull the starter or inspection plate and take a look inside to see what is going on. This all presumes the snap you heard wasn't simply the release fork snapping or coming undone from the pivot - and now the bugger theory applies.
