Clutch Problems I need some help trouble-shooting a problem that I'm having. Last year I upgraded the clutch, master, and slave cylinder with parts from Cartek. For the last two mornings in a row, the clutch pedal has no pressure - I push it down and it just wont come back up. If I pull it back up and then pump it up and down it builds up a little pressure - but not much. Barely enough to operate the clutch. I've had to add fluid to the reservoir two mornings in a row now. When I check the fluid reservoir the next morning, the little bladder inside is fully expanded and I have to add more fluid. I'm thinking slave cylinder, but I thought I'd ask around first for other suggestions.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Re: Clutch Problems There is a slot cut in the bottom of the bellhousing where it meets with the motor. The fluid was building up around that slot. It wasn't pouring out of there or anything, just enough of a leak to where the fluid was building up on parts of the bellhousing around that slot. Its possible the o-ring on your hydraulic line (where it connects to the master cylinder) is leaking fluid, but I find that unlikely. I don't believe the master cylinder would be leaking from the seals in the cylinder body itself because if it was you would be smelling fluid inside the car. I think you will find its your slave going bad. Good luck.
Re: Clutch Problems sorry man , i confused the slave wuth the master.
i have smoe leaking of the master in the car and i never smelt it. the only way i belive that you can check is to visually inspect the master from under the dash.
