I just installed a new Clutch ,pressure plate, Aluminum flywheel.
When I started the car and pushed in the clutch there was not much pedal
then I looked under it and the slave is leaking . I did not replace the slave
can any one tell me what went wrong.
Thanks
Well not really . My car has 7500 miles on it and I don't see why I would have to put a new slave in when I replaced the clutch.
I used a trans jack and it came apart & went back together with ease.
Am just puzzled why it would be leaking now.
I could see it if I horsed it around to get it out or in, But thats not the case here.
Yes , I just pulled it back out and can't find a crack or any thing wrong.
It looks like the fluid is coming out around the shaft.
Ordered a new slave. Is there anyway to bench test them ?
Nope. It might have gotten cracked, or it got overextended during install. Did you use the old trick of mashing the clutch pedal a few times to get the clutch disc to line up before having the trans fully seated to the block/bellhousing? Hydraulic clutches don't like that.
