Need Help with slave for my convertible...

[drksol22]

i am doing a swap on my vert and i bought a master and slvae from ebay. when it came in it looked like this.

The slave looks just like in the picture. is it missing something?

I can't help you but you mind telling me what a slave is? I would love to know.

That's what they should look like.

The master cylander is the big one.. it sits up on the firewall and connects to the clutch pedal.. When you push in on the clutch, the master pushes hydrolic fluid from the reservoir into the hard line.

You need to get the hardline.. get it from your local dealership, it's cheap.. less than $20 usually.. and then you don't have to pay the rediculous shipping charges..

The hardline runs along the firewall over the top of the engine, and back down the passenger side of the car.. then down under the transmission tunnel.

The hardline hooks into a little bleeder box (that can be skipped if you want).

The soft line (also needed) connects from the hardline to the slave cylander.

The slave is the one pictured on the bottom right. It receives the pressure of the fluid being pushed through the lines and extends the little pin with the rubber boot. That pin pushes against the fork that sticks out of the transmission, and is what actuates your throw-out bearing. That's what makes the clutch work..

Clear as mud right???

i understand all of that but i dont have a pin. what i meant was that there is no pin in the middle of the slave. should there be one or not?

pull off the rubber boot and see if there is a little pin or rod in there. It does look like it's missing from the pic.. now that you mention it.. but perhaps with zero fluid in the slave.. it's just completely depressed.

someone left the piston out of the slave.

go to advance auto and pick one up. they're not that expensive
