Install slave cylinder 94 saab

Sorry but it requires gearbox removal as it is situated inside the bellhousing.

First check the Brake fluid..(yes brake fluid) This is where the SLAVE CYLINDER gets its fluid from. The slave cylinder has soft rubber seals that can go bad.Another thing to remember is the reservoir Brake fluid should only be dot4 fluid if any other brake fluid was used it will cause the seals to go bad and a new slave will have to be installed.

Hi, There is a bleed nipple on the slave cylinder which is located on the underside of the bell housing. Cheers Ralph

did you bleed the system?? you must bleed the system from the clutch slave. if this has been done, I need more info!! How does the clutch pedal feel, is the clutch slave engaging at all??

First check to see if the master cylinder is full of fluid, if it is then you may have a bad master cylinder or slave cylinder out. If you find a leak then you have found your problem if it's low n fluid you will have to bleed the system, if you need instructions on doing this just post a answer t o this question and I will tell you how to do it. It will require one wrench and brake fluid to bleed the system, if you need to replace the slave or the master cylinder you will need tools to replace these items and I don't have any ideal if you want to repair this yourself or not or what it will cost to fix. Normally the clutch pedal will feel mushy or soft if the slave or master is out and this would cause it hard to get into gear. Let me know so I can help.

There are two possibilities to consider:

1. the master cylinder is leaking/by-passing hydraulic fluid
2. the slave cylinder is leaking/by-passing fluid

You didn't mention a fluid leak, so that would eliminate the obvious cause of a leaking pipe. However, check for leaks around the master cylinder (on the firewall) and at the front of the engine by the clutch itself. This would indicate which of the two might be the problem, If they haven't been replaced in many years, it's probably sensible to replace both at once. The slave cylinder can be replaced without removing the engine. If you have ABS, you'll likely need to loosen/remove the alternator.

Good luck!

Yes, the motor mount must come off to replace the serpentine belt on the 3.0 6 cylinder motors. Not as daunting a task as it may seem, just requires a jack and block of wood under the oil pan to support the motor.

You may have a bad slave cylinder, but if you do the system would leak. Sometimes the hose fails, and that also causes a leak. if there are no leaks, I would suspect the master cylinder.

You have to remove the clutch to replace the slave cylinder on this car.

hi, your slave cylinder is not to hard to replace just be carefull with the tread at the fitting ,first disconect the line and then the screws that holds it ,be sure to install the little shaft back correctly, after you finish be sure to bleed the cilinder ,(carefull with the tread at the fitting)......
