Clutch Slave Cyl.
I replaced my slave about 10 days ago and yesterday I noticed I was
losing pedal on the drive home, when I got home I found that the res.
was empty. I assumed that maybe I had a leak or maybe the slave was
leaking but upon further inspection I found fluid on the firewall....I
cleaned the fluid off the firewall filled the res. and bled the brakes
and went for a 1 hour drive. Now I'm sure it's a defective cylinder
because I can see fresh fluid on the firewall.
Has anyone else had a defective cyl. out of the box?
Is it possible I messed it up during installation???

Re: Clutch Slave Cyl.
Don't you mean the clutch master cylinder? (the one on the firewall)
I had the same problem and got a replacement from Pep Boys that lasted
less than a week. I've no doubt you can get a bad one right out of the box.
Now if you really DID replace the slave cylinder ... <G>

Re: Clutch Slave Cyl.
Sorry I should proofed my post before hitting send, sometimes the mind
and the keyboard don't co-operate.
Yes the master cyl. was what I meant, I'm going back to Canadian Tire
tomorrow to order a new one (glad I kept the receipt) and I hope this
one holds up.
Thanks

Re: Clutch Slave Cyl.
Damn I really messed up that post..... It seems that I bled the brakes
instead of the clutch. :)
