Confirm if you have fluid leak from master or slave cylinder of if you have damp valve.try to bleed as it is to confirm the fault. If fault does not resolved then check as some times the cause is the damp valve does not allow fluid to flow through to slave cylinder. If your clutch master cylinder is ok, and the slave cylinder as well,start the bleeding by the damp valve which is on the mid way of master and salave cylinders.Then beed the slave cylinder for good clutch.

SOURCE: Where is slave cylinder for clutch on 1994 Isuzu pickup 2.3 litre

To determine which type of clutch you have, servo hydraulic or cable.
Look down past the engine bell housing and determine the existance of a hydraulic clutch slave cylinder.(a piece of casting with a rod facing towards the rear of the vehicle pocket into a bracket protruding out of the gearbox bell housing. As well as a pipe and bleed nipple to be crude)
(which I believe you have).The hydraulic fluid for this unit is sourced from the brake master cylinder reservoir via a sneaky pipe partially obscured to the clutch master cylinder on the internal firewall.If you have no clutch slave cylinder near the bell housing there would be an obvious bounden cable running from the firewall down to the outer of which will be stopped at a bracket hanging off the engine.The inner will continue to a bracket protruding from the gearbox bell housing.

Hello Missy.
I would be suspicious of both needing replacement.
Did they tell you exactly what the problem was?
There must be a leak somewhere.
Perhaps faulty installation?
I could see if one of the components was defective due to manufacturing problem, but both of them I doubt.
Perhaps a different shops opinion on the problem would be in order in this case.
Let me know if your have further questions regarding this here. (no further charges)

Thank you for using FixYa.

Sounds like you may have air trapped in the system.Try this trick.Remove the bleeder screw from the slave cylinder.Place your finger over the hole to act as a one way valve, allowing air and fluid to escape but not allowing air to get sucked back in.Then have someone stroke the pedal slowly making full strokes, keep an eye onn the resevoir so that it does not get low and fill the system with more air.If there is room turn a bottle of brake fluid upsidedown in the resevoir to keep it from running dry.After you have run a bottle of fluid through it replace the bleeder and pump and bleed the old fashioned way a few times.If there is air it should be gone.If clutch will still not disengage the something is wrong with clutch plate and or pressure plate.Good luck!

2008 Astra sticks in 4th gear why?

There could be several reasons why a 2008 Astra may become stuck in 4th gear. Here are a few potential causes:

1. Transmission issues: A problem with the transmission itself, such as a damaged gear or a malfunctioning shift solenoid, can cause the vehicle to remain stuck in a particular gear.

2. Clutch problems: If there is a problem with the clutch system, such as a worn clutch disc or a faulty release bearing, it can prevent proper gear engagement and cause the vehicle to stay in 4th gear.

3. Shift linkage or cables: Issues with the shift linkage or cables that connect the gear shift lever to the transmission can result in difficulty changing gears, including becoming stuck in 4th gear.

4. Hydraulic issues: Problems with the hydraulic system, such as low fluid levels, leaks, or a malfunctioning clutch master or slave cylinder, can affect the proper operation of the clutch and transmission, potentially causing gear-related issues.

It is important to have a qualified mechanic inspect and diagnose the specific cause of the problem. They can perform a detailed diagnostic procedure, check for error codes in the vehicle's computer system, and conduct necessary tests to identify and resolve the issue with the 4th gear sticking.

I have a 2002 Saturn Vue it started becoming more difficult to change gears, and now, It is stuck in first gear, I replaced the gearshift cable adjuster, STILL stuck in 1st gear. HELP!

Could be master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, or bad clutch. There is a plastic piece at the end of the clutch or shifter linkage that often fails at the transmission.
Can you see the shifter linkage from under the vehicle or interior under console to determine if the linkage is physically connected?

My clutch pedal is very loose and can't seem to change gears,pls help

If light pressure on your clutch pedal causes it to fall or easily be pushed to the floor and you cannot feel a normal point in which the clutch should engage it is quite possibly the slave cylinder. Most mechanic shops will tell you to replace the clutch and while doing the service they will replace the slave cylinder. Do you see or smell any brake fluid leaking? Brake fluid is used in the clutch hydraulic system. So if your brake fluid is low or you can see it leaking or smell it burning this would Point towards slave cylinder. There are other ways to check if your slave cylinder is working appropriately by looking under the vehicle having the clutch pedal pushed and seeing if the cylinder is engaging the transmission and then feeling for resistance.

Hi- 1995 jeep wrangler 2.5yj- clutch grinding won't go into gear - seems full of fluid but over filled it works good for a few months -does it again- repeated -works good-maybe master slave problem ?

1995 YJ if still stock all that is ONE PART, see FSM quote below.
is the fluid dropping, day by day, week by week???
y/n?
yes, then either the slave or mc are bad.
sometimes both can fail, (rust happens inside and is progressive)
what I do , is this. (if not wanting to change out both)
1: look at the MC, if it done leak down either side of the fire wall
it might be good (dont mean the piston seals good but its not leaking, so if fluid drops , (every week say) the the MC is ok
and for sure the slave leaks.

2: so where is your slave. have you looked,? (swaps happen)
most leak and can not be detected as that leak landed on the road to work.
for sure its just 2 parts, here, you know the clutch is ok.
because it works with fluid in the system and bled.
now ILL PASTE THE FSM words out of a real factory service manual.
they are clear.
FSM words, QUOTE:
CLUTCH HYDRAULIC LINKAGE REMOVAL
The clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder
and connecting line are serviced as an assembly
only.
The linkage components cannot be
overhauled or serviced separately. The cylinders
and connecting line are sealed units. Also
note that removal/installation procedures for
right and left hand drive models are basically
the same. Only master cylinder location is different.
(1) Raise vehicle.
(2) Remove fasteners attaching slave cylinder to
clutch housing.
(3) Remove slave cylinder from clutch housing (Fig.
9).
(4) Disengage clutch fluid line from body clips.
(5) Lower vehicle.
(6) Verify that cap on clutch master cylinder reservoir
is tight. This is necessary to avoid undue spillage
during removal.
(7) Remove clutch master cylinder attaching nuts.
Note that one nut is accessible from engine compartment
and one nut is accessible from under instrument
panel (Figs. 10 and 11).
(8) Remove clip securing clutch master cylinder
push rod to pedal and slide push rod off pedal pin.
(9) Disconnect clutch pedal position switch wires.
(10) If pedal pin is equipped with bushing, inspect
condition of bushing and replace it if worn or damaged.
(11) Remove clutch hydraulic linkage through engine
compartment.

What to do if clutch seems to be not disengaging

Check the clutch master cylinder fluid level or linkage (if it's not a hydraulic clutch). Look for new fluid leaks around transmission. Otherwise, you may have a clutch master/slave cylinder failure.

Clutch pedal remains on floor when car is hot

Sounds like you have a hydraulic clutch which uses fluid to push the clutch instead of a metal linkage. They sometimes act up like yours when hot. The slave cylinder may need replaced or rebuilt if a kit is available for your vehicle. If you by chance do have a regular linkage type clutch, then something may be bent slightly causing it to bind when hot.

I installed a complete clutch & Flywheel. I popped outta 1st gear & won't go into any gear whatsoever. Linkage & slave cylinder work! feels like it's going into gear but when i let clutch out nothing

Isolate the problem. Sound like clutch is stuck and not disengaging. Engine off put in gear and rock the vehicle,, with help from a friend press clutch pedal while in gear and have friend push, you will know if the tranny is ok and clutch is stuck. Now check the clutch, slave etc for engagment and disengagment / Clutch linkage- movement/travel may need adjustment or you have something wrong in the reassembly..

Was driving home and pushed clutch in and it went to the floor, did my linkage break or just come off?

if the fluid is low, the hydraulic system is bad. plan on replacing the master and slave cylinder. If the fluid is OK, then watch the linkage when pressing the clutch pedal. I ASSUME it has linkage but I dont know what year or model you have? the trans will have to come out to service the clutch slave and in that case you may need to replace the clutch assembly. Plan on a new clutch, master and slave cylinder.
