How Do You Replace The Clutch Slave Cylinder?
A clutch slave cylinder is a common hydraulic cylinder with a rod that extends returns under pressure from an outside spring pressure. When pressure is applied to the slave, the rod will extend and push on the throw-out bearing arm, forcing the bearing to push in on the fingers of the pressure plate, thereby disengaging the clutch. The spring pressure from the pressure plate fingers pushes the bearing out, causing the throw-out bearing arm to push the rod in the slave back in.
