The slave cylinder is in a unit which includes the throw out bearing. Therefore, it actually "wraps around" the transmission input shaft. This means that you have to remove the transmission to replace it. According to Haynes and Chilton manuals, this means partial disassembly of the front suspension, removal of the drive (half) shafts, and supporting the engine while you remove the transmission. The local garage is pricing this for me as I type (03-21-2008), since it's a bit much for my shade tree. It looks like it will be between $500 and $800, including parts.

At least the slave cylinder. The clutch master cylinder can be replaced at any time.


What if your clutch on your 85 Toyota corolla goes to the floor and is hard to shift?

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.

You will need to remove the transmission to replace the clutch slave.


When replacing clutch do you also change the slave cylinder?

The slave cylinder is usually replaced during a clutch replacement. The slave unit is fairly inexpensive but the labor can be costly since most vehicles require the transmission to be removed to replace the slave. Since the transmission has to be removed to replace the clutch anyway, there is no extra labor involved to replace the slave.
