Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Clutch Master & Slave Cylinder

[WBodine]

I have bought a new set up from my local dealership was going to install tonight. I thought it was a one piece system but is in two pieces. The question i have is will I get air in the system when I connect them. Any advice would be appreciated.

You will most certainly get air in the system during install. There should be a bleeder at the slave and just like bleeding brakes.

 

[WBodine]

No thats the kicker i have never seen one that didn't have a bleeder I guess I have now.

Hook everything up except slave to bell housing.

Remove cap off resevoir have some look at it while you slowly move the rod of the slave in and out until there are no air bubble in fluid then attach slave to bell housing.

Missouri Mule is right on target.



The ends have check valve quick connections, snap in and go. The procedure that MM describes is spot on, you do not need a bleed screw when you can use the S/C as a pump to push fluid back into system.



I bet the system is pre-filled and ready to go.

I replaced my hydraulics with a dealer kit last summer. I didn't bleed it. I installed the M/C end and routed the line first. Then I connected the slave. I installed the slave onto the transmission last. While I'm not an authority on the matter, the techs at the dealer where I bought it said that you don't have to bleed it due to the design of the connector.
