Slave Cylinder: Installation

NOTE: Replacement slave cylinder assemblies come prefilled with fluid. No fluid service or system bleeding should be required, unless the hydraulic system has lost an excessive amount of fluid and has ingested air into the hydraulic circuit. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - BLEEDING CLUTCH HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT (LHD/RHD MODELS) ).
  1. Install the slave cylinder assembly into position on transaxle. (Figure). Start damper and slave cylinder fasteners by hand.
  2. Tighten slave cylinder bolts-to-transaxle bolts to 19 N.m (168 in. lbs.) on 2.0L applications, and 12 N.m (105 in. lbs.) on 1.6L applications.
  3. Tighten damper nuts to 24 N.m (215 in. lbs.).
  4. Connect clutch hydraulic supply tube. (Figure). An audible click should be heard. Verify connection by pulling outward.
  5. 2.0L models:  Install left lateral bending brace.
  6. Lower vehicle.
  7. Verify clutch master cylinder reservoir is full. Top off with DOT 3 brake fluid if necessary.
  8. Actuate clutch pedal a minimum of ten times to allow any air ingested into the system to vent to the master cylinder reservoir. If excessive air is ingested into system, bleed clutch hydraulic system. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - BLEEDING CLUTCH HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT (LHD/RHD MODELS) ).
  9. Verify proper clutch release system operation.
  10. If slave cylinder was replaced with a NEW unit, verify that the shipping strap has been broken. If not, remove straps to prevent high pedal effort.
