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.
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
Take it to the dealer or garage as it is hard to get the air out of the line.
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.
bleed your clutch..that may be the problem
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 for bad clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder.
It all depends on the vehicle as to how easy it is, but the slave cylinder is in the bell housing of your transmission. The transmission needs to be dropped and the slave cylinder isn't hard to remove after that. The biggest task would be disconnecting/removing the transmission and then aligning it correctly upon replacing it. (ex. don't get any wiring, etc. caught between bellhousing and motor, get all bolts tightened and threaded properly) It is a cylindrical (hence the name)peice that attaches to the transmission where it connects to the motor. .
There is no clutch cable in 93 Mercury Capri. Its operated by hydraulics. There is a clutch slave cylinder and master cylinder. the seal in it probably worn out. Not very hard to work with.
When you go to the automotive store, the rebuild kit comes with instructions. It is really easy. The slave cylinder can be rebuilt but, I think you have to buy a new master
without more info it sounds like the cluch may be worn. you might look for an adjuster for the cluch at the slave cylinder.
It's bolted onto the bell housing of the transaxle- it would be hard to miss.
