You got to drop the tranny and gearbox and get in there. After that its cake. Watch out for that top tranny housing bolt as its not what you think...12mm inverted 6-point , or whatever you call it. I found out the HARD way. The book doesn't tell you and neither does the dealer.
the upper 2 bolts are inverted torx. E12 is the socket that fits perfectly.
Yes
It's on top of the transmission. Follow the tube coming from the master cylinder.
You will need to remove the transmission to replace the clutch slave.
very carefully
In cylinder
The clutch slave cylinder , for a hydraulic clutch , is inside the manual transmission bellhousing
The clutch slave cylinder for a hydraulic clutch is inside the manual transmission bellhousing
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.
The clutch slave cylinder in your 1998 Mitsubishi does not use fluid. The clutch slave cylinder is sealed with grease inside of it.
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.
The slave cylinder for your hydraulic clutch is located inside the manual transmission bellhousing
The clutch master cylinder is in the engine compartment and the slave cylinder for the hydraulic clutch is inside the manual transmission bellhousing
