Slave cylinder day.

The old slave that I replaced with the new one(now bad again) had the bleed screw facing away from the floor board which is allot easier to get to. The new one was facing the floor board. I mean its right up against the tunnel and has actually dug into it a little bit. Bad spot for the bleed screw.

The OEM had the screws facing up and I believe they bled them while mounted and then snapped off the bleed screws for more clearance. The later were faced down.

You must of found some really old stock. Was your new one a cast iron one or oem looking?


The one I bought that was salvagable when disassembled had some surface rust inside the cyl. that needed removed also, a lot of them might of been laying around a while.

I had a leaky OE slave, bought a Dorman cast piece $50 RockAuto it was just too heavy for my liking.

I took it all apart to find the piston was steel, OE has aluminum.
When i had my OE apart the rubber seal was hard i took the new one off the Dorman insalled it in my OE slave no more leaky and she worky goody.

I will have to see if this can be done with Clutch Master.
