  • slave cylinder failure symptoms?

    My clutch is all wack feeling. I have no pressure on the top for about 2 inches, then the friction pt. The friction pt is tiny until I drive around for awhile.

    Is my slave cylinder toast?

    Try pumping the clutch a little while the car is off. If some pressure builds, then leave it alone for a few minutes and try again. If that pressure is gone, then you definately have a leak. Also, after pumping for a few minutes, look underneath the car and check for fluid running out of the bellhousing. If it's coming from there, the leak is in the slave. If not, check the line and the clutch master cylinder at the other end. Either one of those is a much easier fix than the slave. If you need a new slave, most dealers keep them in stock, they're $100 even at dealer price. If you can wait a few days, get it from http://www.gmpartsdirect.com for $60 plus $10 shipping. Part # is 15018532.

      No leaking fluid. Is there some kind of check value for the fluid?

        You could also try bleeding the clutch fluid line.

          Agreed. Bleed the line and see if that helps any.
