E=MC2 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 i just came from my friend mechanici bought new slave cylinder today, but he refused to change it because old one is free from any oil leaking, and by his opinion fully functionalby simple adjusting of clutch pedal he menaged to get little softer, and much confortable and convincing pedal feedback and allso menaged to significantly improve gear change, but still i have little gears rubbing feel on gearknob kombined with not so liquid gear change which is manifested with little delay between gears, especially on high revsshould i replace the slave cylinder anyway?can be bad gear knob linkage geometry, because one engine mount is dead?or you after all pointing your finger on the clutch set?p.s. i hope that my sentences structure is not pretty bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E=MC2 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 why to bleed it, he didnt openned oil circle anywherehe just physically adjusted pedal depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leejt1979 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 the fluid should be changed on a service interval... remember it's the same deal as brake fluid so does need to be changed at some point.. every 2 years i think!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E=MC2 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 i've changed slave, and nothing positive i didnt achieveat first ride clutch was soft, and gear change precisious and without delays, but later, old problems came backbut i have noticed that when is warm outside, or when i warm, or even torture car for a while, gear change become very badcan it be old fluid, not properly bleaded system, dead master cyl (which shows no oil leaks) or the new clutch set is my next investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesyMB6 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I have checked my master cylinder and that looks fine, so I will do the fluids and then see if I need a slave if its still heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E=MC2 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Bleed it Bleed it bleed it.... NEW FLUID NEW FLUID... start with the low cost options!!!hehehe, loud and clear, i'll do that todayhow to drain system from old fluid, and how properly to bleed it?last time i was doing bleeding on bleed valve on slave cyl. Should i do that also on master, or the slave is the lowest system point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leejt1979 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Bleed the same way as per brakes... just bleed through from slave cylinder and then then fluid should be a nice 'urine' colour in the bottle not dark like yours prob is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
