Re: clutch engagement; early
 

If slave seals were in wrong, I would have fluid loss, correct? No fluid loss at this time, just engagement. I changed the slave at the rebuild as I thought there was a leak, so hard to say.

Lee,

Not necessarily especially if the slave is new. Is this a cast iron piece or the drawn steel? =Jeff= would be the real expert on this.

Re: clutch engagement; early
 

yeah I had quite the ordeal with the slaves..

As Dominic asked, is it cast or drawn steel? is it a new part? If the seal is in backwards on the slave, if the car was parked nose Uphill, when you get in, push clutch and start car and it will NOT go into reverse it could be the reversed seal or a bad master.

If you pump it, does it get better?

Re: clutch engagement; early
 

If I hit the clutch hard it shifts very smoothly

Re: clutch engagement; early
 

it is NOT the cast version.....where can I get a quick replacement??

Re: clutch engagement; early
 

Lee,

You could take it apart and reorient the seal. Again =Jeff= could guide you on that

Re: clutch engagement; early
 

Re: clutch engagement; early
 

is it a new part?

if not new, depending on the use if it seal was backwards the seal might be gone

Re: clutch engagement; early
 

Lee,

The documentation for this on ZF Doc actually came from =Jeff= and his investigating the issue several years ago.

Re: clutch engagement; early
 

Yeah Bill B found it there and then I confirmed it on 3 more slaves
