The clutch is a mechanism used to connect the power unit to the gearbox and then disconnect it. If this device fails, normal vehicle movement will no longer be possible. Basically, the serviceability and working condition of this mechanism depends on the drive. The latter ensures the normal functioning of the clutch system, namely, it remotely acts on the basket (pressure plate) when the corresponding pedal is pressed in the car. This device also includes the clutch slave cylinder, which is also an important part in the operation of the drive. And today we will talk about it in detail.
At the moment there are several types of drives:
- Mechanical.
- Hydraulic.
First drive is most commonly used on passenger cars. Its distinctive feature is the simplicity of design and low cost of maintenance. The clutch slave cylinder is not included. The mechanical drive has only 4 devices at its disposal:
- pedalclutch;
- free play adjustment mechanism;
- clutch cable;
- linkage.
As for the hydraulic mechanism, the following elements are present in its design:
- clutch pedal and connecting pipes;
- fluid reservoir;
- including clutch master and slave cylinders.
In general, this tool is an integral part of the hydraulic drive, the task of which is to accept the forces coming from the main cylinder. Also, the clutch slave cylinder performs the function of moving the release fork of the system with a pressure bearing. This mechanism is located on the clutch housing.
How do you know if your car needs a clutch slave cylinder replacement?
First of all, a failed clutch pedal can signal a breakdown of the device. It is also worth paying attention to the slave cylinder if the pedal has a suspiciously soft stroke.
Quick replacement instructions
Fortunately, the design of this mechanism is not fundamentally different from other cars. The clutch slave cylinder of the 2107th VAZ has almost the same device as the Ford of the 1980s.
Therefore, this manual can be applied to both foreign and domestic cars:
- First you need to put the car on the viewing hole.
- Next, disconnect the release spring and usepliers to remove the cotter pin from the end of the pusher.
- Using an open-end wrench, remove the hose end attachment from the cylinder plug.
- Use a wrench to unscrew the 2 bolts that secure the faulty mechanism to the clutch housing.
- Next, you need to disconnect the cylinder from the hose by rotating the part with your hands. If necessary, you can use an open-end wrench.
- After that, it is urgent to put a new part on the hose to reduce the loss of brake fluid to zero.
- We mount all the parts back and pump the hydraulic drive system.
