Clutch Slave or Master Cylinder - Calling all clutch experts 700

posted by  someone claiming to be icecreamman on  Sun Aug 27 05:42 CST 2006 [RELATED]

On Friday,my 87 740 Turbo Wagon's Clutch Slave gave up the ghost.
I was unhappy since this is my first 'breakdown' since new !
No big deal I ordered a new slave and installed it and was trying to bbleed the lines.

I had a hard pedal in 3 to 4 pumps and i thought I was home free --- Bled the line and went thru the same motions. But this time the pedal got real hard and was only halfway down the floor. I pushed a little more and apperently ripped the seal on the piston inside the new slave.

So I said no problem, let me temporarily use the old piston with the old seal.

Went thru the same bleeding process and same results.

Now it was tome to look at the fork which appears file and the travel is about an inch on it -- so it is not that it is bent and the slave piston popped out too far.

It is almost that when I stay off the clutch that the pressure is not going back -- almost feels like the pressure builds up on every push of the clutch pedal.

Do I have a bad Clutch Master Cylinder ? It is original !
Can I buy the slave piston seal on its own at the dealership ?

Any help is appreciated !


Thanks
