if the slave is out of the car, shouldnt it be locked?

what I mean is, I just pulled mine out (and I have been getting a soft pedal, not sure if its the slave or all in my screwed up pressure plate), and I can push in on the slave- I thought its supposed to be firm since there is nowhere for the fluid to go (master is disconnected, tranny is on the ground)?

No, that is perfectly normal to be able to push in on the slave cylinder like that.

thanks for the speedy reply!!

ok, i was worried about that, it still doesnt make sense to me, since I think its supposed to be pushing fluid that has nowhere to go. I remember having a problem the first time i did the clutch, where i was connecting the line to the slave and it wouldnt connect (untill i loosened the bleeder valve).

I figured its under pressure, but i guess not

thanks again, looks like i'm not gonna replace the slave (only 15k on it, bearing seems to turn good).
