I replaced my clutch with a zoom kit that included slave cylinder and pilot bearing. My problem is now I have fluid leaking under the car and the clutch lets out at the very bottom, and after about 30 mins of driving i have to pump the clutch several times just to get into gears. we replaced the rear main seal as well but my oil level is not low so I dont think that is leaking. Does this sound like a slave leaking down? Any help will be great.

Defiantly sounds like a leaking slave cylinder. Could be leaking from the hydraulic line going to the slave, or the bleeder valve. Or it could even be comming from the slave itself. You have checked your clutch reservoir?

Did you get a gm replacement slave?

nope, it came in the clutch kit. I still have my stock slave with 60k.

If its not a Gm replacement slave, throw it in the trash.

I figured, you think that is whats leaking down?

You need to do a process of elimination here. What fluid is leaking? What color is it? Clearish=brake fluid used as clutch fluid. Redish=probably transmission fluid. Oil=oil

thats the thing, It kinda looks like oil but doesnt feel or smell like oil. My oil level is still where it should be and i have leaked a good amount. the resivour is still full too.

Where is it leaking from?Can you tell? Through the bellhousing?

sean1997ws6

iTrader: (1)

yes, comming through the little slot

Greekey

Well you only have one option, pull the transmission. Its gotta be that slave leaking.

Thats what I was thinking, either way the tranny has to come down, even if its the rear main leaking.

Your right. Don't have any other choice. Goodluck

Thank you sir, is the zoom clutch ****? I should have gone with the LS7 but I was stuck out of state in a bind when my stocker blew.

I have heard everything from zoom being an awesome clutch, to it being a stock replacement. I mean you get that with every product on the market. But if it was one clutch that I have not heard to many bad things about, it would be without a doubt a Monster clutch. Getting mine installed this weekend, so I cant tell you and personal experiences. Whats your cars future looking like? Any drag racing? Or is this a street car?

sean1997ws6

well I got the Zoom kit because I got a great price and it said it can hold more than stock. I am just running a cruiser, with the occasional drag.

Are you planning on adding more horsepower in the future?

Update: took the tranny down and replaced the slave with a GM slave. Now its hard in and out of gear. With the pedal on the floor the car will barley go into gear and will begin to shake and crawl forward. I have bleed the living **** out of the system. went and bought and new master and installed and bleed and still have it. any ideas?
