slave cylinder problems

[bboyblack]

i just dropped a new clutch into my car. everything works well but my slave cylinder for it. ive gone through 2 of them so far. 2 burst the seals and fluid leaked everywhere.... im on my 3rd i bled the whole system both parts. but i looked online and people were having problems with the second line. so i dropped it out. so i just have the master clyinder going straight to the slave. i bled that again to make sure there was no air in it. but when i pumped it around 3 times the piston from the slave cylinder keeps popping out! everytime. so now its stuck against the yolk that goes into the transmission right now. so right now its stuck in 1st gear or nuetral. one of the 2. when i try driving it, the clutch pedal gets stuck to the floor and wont pop back up. so its in my garage right now and i need info and help. but my whole problem is that the slave cylinder wont go back into the part that it comes out of. it comes out and stays out.... i bought it saturday and put it in after the new clutch went in. any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your problem started after you installed your new clutch then you have obviously installed something incorrectly.The piston in the slave cylinder should not be traveling that far.

when i finished the clutch and everything else though it ran fine. i drove it a mile around my block and then i accelerated and it wouldnt shift like i said. thats when i bought a new one and dropped it on there

Did the clutch fork and pivot ball look OK?

[bboyblack]

the clutch fork is. what do u mean by the pivot ball? the throwout bearing??

[sx moneypit]

The part that bolts into the bell housing that the fork pivots on.

[bboyblack]

oh ya that. ya theyre both good.

I'm with SX moneypit... the piston shouldn't be going that far, thus why it keeps popping out.

also, what kind of slave are you using? oem rocky one?

[bboyblack]

oem. got the first from schucks, second from napa and had problems with that one so i got another one from schucks but they all do the same thing...

what could be wrong in the bell housing though? it goes the fork connected to the part with the spring that holds the throwout bearing on it.

What brand of clutch,OEM or aftermarket?

[bboyblack]

oem. same one that came out of it. i talked to 2 different mechanics today. they said it has air in it still. so im gonna bleed it again today.


i bled it today and the whole slave cylinder blew apart again.. im takin it in.
