Clutch Slave Cylinder leaking oil onto clutch disk
Hi everyone so im pretty new here.
So i just had my the clutch on my integra replaced by a mechanic costed me $500.
what a sh*t loaded of money wasted.
Then after driving it for a few weeks I notice it would shake/drug/shutter during only first gear and reverse only when i try to let go of the clutch. All the other gears are okay. So i brought it back to the mechanic and he said my Clutch master and Slave Cylinder is leaking and that it is possible it leak into the tranmission and clutch disk. He quoted me $300 to replace the clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder.
And I ask him how is he going to fix the issue if there oil in the clutch, he said he'll spray about 1/2 bottle of brake cleaner into the where the clutch is through the clutch slave clyinder flork opening.
Do you guys think this will help slove the problem?
I would rather do this myself and save that $300. My budget is really tight right now. I just spend another 200 on fixing my windsheild and have to smog it soon.
Any help on how i can fix this? or ideas.
isn't the clutch disk covered really well how do i even get break cleaner on to it?

Well of course you want to save money and do it yourself LOL that's why you're on H-T...
I personally think that a leaky slave cylinder wouldn't leak very much on the clutch disk itself and I would not spray anything in there! If you wanted to, the only access point is where the clutch fork sticks out.
To change your cylinders, buy OEM parts from acuraautomotiveparts.org and follow this DIY...

CSC should be straight forward to replace.
