you cut it
Yes there is a hydraulic clutch on the miata. Just to the outside of the firewall, near the brake master cylinder is the clutch master cylinder and resevoir.
If it does not have a Hydraulic clutch, then it has no fluid. If it has a Hydraulic clutch the clutch master cylinder is normally located on the firewall, driver's side, near the brake master cylinder.
The clutch master cylinder is in the engine compartment and the slave cylinder for the hydraulic clutch is inside the manual transmission bellhousing
www.hasport.com has clutch master cylinder adapters. Here is the info from their page: "The new master cylinder adapter allows the use of a Honda-style or Wilwood clutch master cylinder to convert a cable transmission vehicle to a hydraulic setup."
Most automotive clutch systems use brake fluid in the master cylinder. Hydraulic oil would ruin those systems.
With assist from your foot, the brakemaster cylinder sends hydraulic brake fluid to each wheel to operate the brakes. There is also a clutch master cylinder formany standard shift vehicles. This clutch master cylinder, with assist from your other foot, sends hydraulic fluid to the clutch slave cylinder to operate the clutch throw out bearing.
There are two normal causes. The clutch is worn out or there is a leak in the hydraulic clutch slave or master cylinder. To check the clutch, press the clutch slave cylinder down. If the clutch slave cylinder bellows compresses down to the slave cylinder, the clutch is worn out. Check the clutch master cylinder fluid level. if this is low, then the clutch cylinder need to be checked. To check for a hydraulic leak in the clutch slave cylinder, remove the cylinder's bellows and check for any fluid. If fluid is present, rebuild or replace the cylinder and bleed the system. To check the clutch master cylinder, check the back the of clutch master cylinder for leaks. If fluid is present, replace or rebuild clutch master cylinder and bleed the system. In my experience, hydraulic leaks occur at the clutch slave cylinder.
Which part do you want to replace? The slave cylider or the master cylinder? The hydraulic line and master cylinder.
The master clutch cylinder is attached to the clutch pedal. When one depresses the pedal hydraulic fluid is forced from the master cylinder through the hard line to the slave cylinder. The piston in the slave cylinder is driven against the clutch linkage thereby releasing the clutch.
It's a hydraulic clutch ( the clutch fluid reservoir is near the brake master cylinder )
The clutch master cylinder is in your engine compartment , the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder is inside your manual transmission bell housing
Hydraulic clutch? Maybe a bad rear seal in the clutch master cylinder
