  • Bad Slave?

    Alright Well I called Spec to see if they can replace my clutch and I have to pull it out first and then Take pictures and wait for them to check them out and then If everything checks out, They will send me a new one. I dont have that kind of time to be without a car so. At this point Im trying to figure our if Maybe ITs my Slave that is not allowing the Clutch to Disengage all the way. Has anyone ever heard of this? I heard that if there is Air in the line, it can cause this to happen. When I first installed the clutch it was fine. Now anything other than First gear Slips. If I Mash it the gears begin to grip just fine. Can it be that when Im mashing it the Air goes out of the Slave and gives me good pressure. I bleed it like crazy This past saterday but I have a feeling there is still air in the system. What do you guys think? Injuneer, What do you think? Im using Sythedic Valvoline Brake fluid. Is there the possibility that after bleeding is so much, can the fluid get on the clutch?

    I'm confused.. A bad slave would not allow your cluth to disengage. It should have nothing to do with the clamping force of the clutch. That's controlled by the pressure plate. Unless I don't understand your system....

      Well Its a little different type of Slave. This is all inside the bell housing. Is it worth replacing the slave?

        I haven't done one like that. Someone else can chime in. If it's not releasing all the way that could be your trouble.
