The brake and clutch fluid systems are supplied by the brake fluid reservoir
( according to the 2001 Mercury Cougar Owner Guide )
the brake and clutch are both contained in the same reservoir and use the same fluid, look at the side of the brake master cylinder reservoir there is a fill line on the side of the clear reservoir
The brake fluid for the entire system is added in the master cylinder container. The slave cylinder does not have its own reservoir.
the slave cylinder is bolted to the drivers side of the transmissions bellhousing,the reservoir for it is on tne drivers side firewall
slave cylinder locationin the Mercury mystique the slave cylinder is located in the transmission. it is connected to the release bearing. the onbly way to change the slave cylinder in this perticular car is to pull the transmission. stupid desing but its a ford so this kind of briliant thinking is expected..lol
Fill resevoir open bleeder valve at slave cylinder Gravity will cause fluid to run out Depress clutch pedal and hold Tighten bleeder screw
no fluid in reservoir due to leaking reservoir or slave cylinder
It's going to look like your power brake reservoir. It is the reservoir for your clutch slave cylinder.
The reservoir is under the hood on the drivers side firewall. The slave cylinder on my 97 4 cylinder is on the drivers side of the transmission. I believe you can see the bleeders near the top of the tranny.
Sure, but you also need to get the air out of the lines and the master cylinder. Put the slave on, then bleed the clutch keeping a supply of brake fluid in the reservoir.
If you allowed the master/reservoir to drain empty while the line was disconnected or installed the master dry, you may have to remove the master and bench bleed it first. Always keep the reservoir full during the process.
The clutch reservoir on a 1995 Toyota will be found on the slave master cylinder. These are located on the firewall of the engine bay.
underneath the car next to the transmission you should find the slave cylinder you can check it by looking into the clutch reservoir, the master cylinder is a huge cup on the fire wall white cap
