Clutch slave cylinder

May 12, 2004 5 Replies

I'm slowly losing clutch fluid and have got clean oil dripping out of the wading plug hole on the bell housing. It's been suggested that this means the slave cylinder is leaking.



Before it goes completely I'm going to change it with one from Paddocks. The question is do I only need to order the slave cylinder or are there any other bits I should be getting at the saem time? I've looked in my manual and it seems straight forward enough, is it?



TIA

in my opinion, it's a doddle. just be sure your exhaust is cold.

My exhaust runs down the LHS and the slave cylinder is on the RHS.

Is yours different? Mine has got the R380 gearbox I suppose yours being older is completely different.

LT77 and it runs right under the slave cylinder.

I'm glad they had a design rethink then!

Just about to order the bits from Paddocks, I'm going to go for one of the Bearmach spare wheel carriers too before my hinges wear out completely. The bottom of the door is scraping the metal plate at the bottom of the door opening now and wearing into the door!

My door frame collapsed before that happened. The door is still there and useable but the spare wheel is now on the bonnet.
