Default Clutch Problem




In this picture, is there anything missing from the quick disconnect? I'm having trouble sealing the disconnect into the slave cylinder. When I push on that little nylon down in the connector, it sticks and won't come completely out. Is there a way to fix this? If not, can I just change the hose end?

The connector should just push into the female half and lock. The only way to get a new hose, if you need one, is to buy a master cylinder.

Is there a way someone can put a new end on my line? I have enough excess line to reach the female end on the tranny.

I did a lot of searching on this when I was doing my swap. The salvage yard broke the connector off my line when they were pulling the engine/tranny. I couldn't find a good way to change the connector that didn't seem like a lot of trouble for something that might not be dependable. I finally just ordered a new master cylinder from gmpartsdirect. They come pre-bled and ready for install. Does your connector not go all the way in, or just not seal when it does?

I have a spare (unused) master cyl I bought just to get the line....only to find out that my friend had his original MC after upgrading to McLeod. If you need it just shoot me a PM and we can work something out.

It goes in the whole way but it won't seal.
