sounds like air in the system, to properly bleed the slave cylinder you must remove the mount screws and hold it so the bleed port is up
A throw out bearing is the bearing in a manual transmission that helps to engage and to disengage the clutch.
A faulty slave cylinder will not cause your clutch to slip. The slave cylinder is made up of a housing and a rod. The rod pushes the throwout lever against the throwout bearing, that push the teeth on the clutch housing causing the clutch to disengage and you are allowed to shift the gears. When a slave cylinder fails it makes it difficult for you to shift gears. When it completely fails you will not be able to change gears at all for the most part. I sincerely hope this helps you. www.subarushirt.com The only exception would be if the slave cylinder managed to leak fluid onto the clutch disc.
the slave cylinder is either located just above the starter or its an internel one part of the throwout bearing.
no. the clutch master cylinder is under the hood, typically near the brake master cylinder, and the slave cylinder is underneath, connected to the fork and throwout bearing on the transmission.
Try to be a little more specific when you describe how the clutch gets "stuck". Do you mean that it won't dis-engage, or do you mean that it won't engage? If it won't disengage, it could be a problem with the hydraulics, in which case you'll probably need to track down whether there is a leak in the master cylinder or slave cylinder, whether the fluid is low or if there is a mechanical problem with the hydraulic clutch system. A clutch that won't disengage can also be caused by a damaged clutch disk, throwout bearing or pressure plate. If it won't ENGAGE, it is probably a problem with the physical clutch disk and/or pressure plate.
You're gonna hafta drop the entire tranny to get to the clutch, pressure plate, and even tho throwout bearing/ slave cylinder.
if you are talking about the slave cylinder and throwout bearing it is all one piece http://i14.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/94/4970c2_1_sbl.JPG that's a quick pic i got of it.
Nope, not unless when removing master cylinder somehow the slave cylinder got bumped a bit too hard. Slave cylinder is the smaller one that the clutch pedal uses to push in and out the throwout bearing allowing for manual shifting...
check your fluid level for the clutch master cylinder or the throwout bearing, the clutch release bearing could do this too.
Yes, the clutch throwout bearing is hydraulically operated.
Remove the driveshaft, jack up the transmission, remove the clutch slave cylinder, detach the bell housing bolts, move the transmission back, remove the shift fork, clutch plate, pressure plate, flywheel and throwout bearing, use alignment tool that came with new clutch to install new pressure plate, clutch disk and throwout bearing.
Yes
