My Clutch Slave Cylinder BLEW UP! no more clutch! help! 700 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be AlexPH on  Tue Jan 9 19:37 CST 2007 [RELATED]

I have 1988 745T with M46, 189k mi, original brake & clutch cylinders. Clutch felt okay, it never slipped on a 2nd gear full-boost, WOT circumstances.

My clutch slave cylinder gave out. I was making a U-turn, my car went into Reverse fine, and it disengaged... With a bit of weird feeling of clutch. Next thing I know, the clutch pedal has completely lost pressure. When I looked at the clutch slave from the top thru the engine bay, it looked fine. It was hard to look at it from under the car, as I did not have a flash light. Touching the slave cylinder with my hand, a chunk of metal fell off from it. It was a piston in the slave cylinder.

Can I take a slave cylinder from a 1986 740T+M46 I have? But the parts car has 260k mi on the clock. The new one would be ultra-expensive from the dealership, or any other vendors.

What should I do?

Could it be a bent throw out arm that has caused the damage?

AAAHHHHH..

please help me!
