No, the slave cylinder is a typical hydraulic piston; if the system was 'opened' then the fluid would come out.
Mine is a cable clutch so there is no slave cylinder. But if yours is a hydraulic clutch then it should be located on the firewall on the driver side close to the master cylinder.
If you follow the line from the clutch master cylinder it will lead you along the driver's side of the vehicle towards the front of the car. You will have to move the hose from the air intake to be able to view the slave nipple. It is located above where the line goes into the slave cylinder. We lossened this nipple with a size 13mm socket and were able to open and close with our hand. Hope that helps!
The clutch can't be adjusted. It is an hydraulic clutch. The clutch pedal sends pressure from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder on the clutch. IF you are having trouble with it the thing to do is bleed the air out at the slave cylinder. Have an assistant pump the clutch and hold it to the floor. Then open the bleed valve on the slave cylinder to let the air out of the system. On the final bleed hold the clutch to the floor and close the bleed valve on the slave cylinder. The clutch master cylinder operates of the brake fluid reservoir. Make sure you keep this full of brake fluid as you bleed the clutch.
Valves
To bleed or replace the slave cylinder on a 1989 Ford F-150 4x4, first, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. If replacing, disconnect the hydraulic line from the slave cylinder and remove the mounting bolts to take it out. To bleed the new or existing slave cylinder, fill the clutch master cylinder with fluid, then have someone press the clutch pedal while you open the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder, allowing air and old fluid to escape. Close the valve before the pedal is released, and repeat until no air bubbles appear.
Fill Master cylinder Open bleeder on slave cylinder Let fluid run from slave Close bleeder install hose to bleeder on slave Run other end into container partially filled with fluid Have assistant step on clutch Open bleeder Observe fluid running into container Repeat until fluid runs clear (No air bubbles) Tighten bleeder securely
To bleed the slave cylinder on a Fiat Ducato, start by ensuring the master cylinder is filled with brake fluid. Then, locate the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder, typically found near the transmission. Using a wrench, open the bleeder valve while having an assistant pump the clutch pedal several times, then hold it down. Close the valve before releasing the pedal to prevent air from entering; repeat this process until no air bubbles appear in the fluid.
Disconnect the hydraulic line nut from the cylinder with a flare nut wrench. Plug the line. Remove the slave cylinder bolts and remove it from the clutch housing. Put the new cylinder on the clutch housing and tighten the mounting bolt. Make sure the brake master cylinder is full of fluid. Have an assistant pump the pedal several times and then hold it to the floor. Then open the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder to let the air out. Do this several times. When the air quits bubblin out you'll want your helper to hold the clutch pedal to the floor while you close the bleeder .
the slave could be holding pressure, try and open the bleeder valve and connect the line.
The slave clutch cylinder on a 1994 Honda Civic is located inside the engine compartment. On the driver-side close the firewall. The clutch fluid should be drained. Remove the mounting bolts and clutch lines to replace the slave clutch cylinder.
two people open bleeder valve "down" close "up" and most important extemely slow on peddle , bleeder is on the bell housing in front of clutch fork
yes,open bleeder valve on cluch slave cylinder and clutch damper to release air.
