Ok so before i bought my hatch the guy said he was having a prob with the clutch and replaced the slave cylinder and it was good. And it was for about a month. The other day im driving home and lost 95% of my clutch. Checked the fluid and it was low. Checked under the pedal and looks like theres a rubber piece that fluid is leaking from right before the firewall. Would replacing the slave cylinder again fix this prob, or is there a prob somewhere else?

 

if its leaking at the firewall its the clutch master cylinder, the slave cyl is on the trans.

 

Yeah thats what i thought but wasnt sure. Thanks for the info

 

anytime

 

Yep, needs a new master cylinder.

I usually recommend replacing both the master and slave as a pair when one fails, because the other usually fails almost immediately afterwards due to the seals being agitated when flushing the system.

 

im going to replace both right now, thanks

When was the slave replaced previously?

If it's been within the last 5 years, I'd just replace the master for now, unless you know for sure that there's a problem with the existing slave.

 

Just the clutch master took care of the prob
