Clutch slave cylinder

[moose maverick]

Hey all,
Quick question about my clutch slave cylinder attached to the clutch fork. I started the truck last night and felt a weird knock through the gear stick with my foot on the clutch . Jumped underneath and looked at the slave and pushed on it as though activating the clutch and it moved about 2 inches in its throw with my hand. Is this normal? I was under the impression that it should have tension on it due to hydraulic set up. Any thoughts would be awesome.

Sounds like time to replacxe it mate, theyre not expensive but are an absolute prik to bleed

Bit of a pain to bleed but easily doable. Get two blokes to do it and it should only take half hour. One guy on the clutch and the other underneath bleeding the air out.

X3 - time to replace mate - easy to do ...

Make certain when you bleed it (bleeder is on the front of it), you have one in the car and one at the bleeder ... leave bleeder in and have bloke in car pump the peddle two or three times and on the final pump, leave the clutch in to the floor, open the bleeder and let it start pushing through (it'll run out the thread first), tighten bleeder, let clutch out and top up clutch fluid, repeat this a few times till the fluid runs visibly out the actual end of the bleeder nipple.

Also, get the driver to check the clutch fluid whilst your doing it.

Nothing worse than almost bled the air out and you run out of fluid....Start again!!!...lol
