Default 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.

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?

If I hit the clutch hard it shifts very smoothly

Lee,

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