Slave [Actuator] Cylinder - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

ralph92ZR1 · 06-23-2006

Since I have purchased a '92 ZR-1 in March, 2005, I have tried to read and learn from all the posts; problem i sI cannot remember them all. But you guys are right on. Last week I was going to bleed the brakes and before I did this I noted the level of clutch fluid in the master cylinder was low. I was surprised with only 15K miles; anyway, upon inspection found a slight drip at the slave cylinder. Went to a dealer, no rebuild kit available, so installed a new GM part. Got it on, bled the system, and have a firmer clutch peddle than ever. Then I reread the article on new GM cylinders having the seal backwards. The cluch seems fine and will not get the car on the road until I finish the breaks but I have ??? in the back of my mind about it hanging up. The dealer where I got the new cylinder said if it is wrong I would immediately feel it in the peddle.
Anyone with other experience.?? I guess I could take it off, disassemble, and check the seal but I am no sure what a correct one looks like.
Any recommendations...Thanks.=D> =D>
