Yes. If either cylinder or the line fails, you lose the clutch pedal. Slave cylinder is a good place to start.
The clutch pedal assembly has a clutch rod that pushes in on a clutch master cylinder. There is a hydro line that goes from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder.
clamp the line to the slave cylinder and mash the clutch pedal. if the pedal gets hard to push,the slave is bad. if the clutch pedal goes down slowly with moderate pressure,the master cyl is bad clamp the line going to the slave cylinder. meant to say that in the previous answer
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 depends on what kind of car you have. Try taking the pedal off and lubing the pivot and where the push rod mounts.
It needs to be lubricated where the pedal hangs off of the pivot point.
slave cylinder
4 nuts under the dash around the brake pedal
is it main cylinder or clutch slave sylinder? if is main then its behind there clutch pedal and if its a clttch slave ots ill be on gear box or near there. hi
no
After you have located the clutch slave cylinder, have someone depress the clutch pedal. You should see the piston of the slave cylinder extend somewhat. If it does not, either the slave cylinder is bad, or the master cylinder, or, there is not enough brake fluid in the system for it to operate properly. Check the level in the master cylinder. If the slave cylinder is leaking profusely, it is probably bad.
If it goes to the floor with no pressure, chances are the Slave Cylinder is gone, or you are out of fluid and have a leak somewheres. But chances are if you're losing fluid, it is your slave cylinder leaking.
