I think we broke my clutch release cylinder last night while re-installing my engine. It's leaking clutch fluid everwhere. Anybody have an idea what these things go for?

u mean the clutch master cylinder or the slave cylinder? the slave cylinder has an accordian boot and hooks to the tranny. the master is on the firewall and you can check it for leaks inside ur car under the dash. they are about 80 i think if my sources are correct.

The Slave - it's leaking fluid out the boot. In the Chilton's manual they call it a clutch release cylinder??? Go figure :shrug

Yea i had to replace mine too. It was pretty easy just a little tricky to get to. It just gets a little messy with the brake fluid but its not to bad. You could probably do it in like less than an hour. You have to bleed the slave cylinder when ur done, but thats about it. Just get one of ur buds to help u bleed it.

well, my slave has never gone bad. but, you should check under your dash up near the top of the firewall where your master cylinder is. there is a little rod that goes into the firewall with a black rubber boot. pull that back and stick ur finger in there. see if any fluid is there either. if so, that means ur master is goners too.

I'm sure my master is fine. The engine has been out for about 3 months and we physically broke the slave accidently when reattaching it to the block after it had been set in place. I checked at AutoZone today and they don't carry them .... so off to Satan on Wednesday. I'll let you all know what they cost.

dino says 80. tell me what you get. try hitting up tallahasse mitsubishi. or that one dude that everyone calls. i forget his name and number...lemme look for it.

Your talking about Bob Kise. I got on from local Mitsu dealer for 80 and some change. I'm picking it up tomorrow (7/2) and installing it. Any trick/tips to bleeding the system? Thanks.

well, just get a big bottle of dot 3 or 4, and fill up the resivoir. then, get someone to help you and have them push on the clutch pedal and hold it. while you are on the ground, find that little nozzle valve thing that is right by your slave cylinder and open it and let the foam/bubbles/dirt or whatever shoot out, and close it b4 it gets done shooting so you don't let any air back in. then, let him let go of the pedal. say, "push", loosen, tighten, "let go", "push" loosen, tighten, "let go" etc etc. but don't let the resivoir run out of fluid or you'd be letting air back in the lines. just do thiss till it is a clean, constant stream of fluid.

Thanks. I'll try that out this afternoon.

Same Procedure as bleeding brake systems. Good luck bro.

Done ... installed ... and working.

cool! what was the problem exactly? wuz i right?
