What are the symptoms of a bad clutch slave cylinder?
Usually when you have a bad clutch slave cylinder you know it right away. Since it is a hydraulic part, once a seal inside the slave cylinder gets bad, it will start leaking fluid, at the same time, it will allow air inside the system (because the seal is not sealing properly), causing your clutch pedal to feel soft and spongy. When a clutch pedal feels that way, it is an indication of air in the system, and when this happens, it makes it hard to operate the clutch properly because it engages even with your foot almost all the way to the floor, at times you may not even be able to place your car in gear due to this problem. NOTE: A bad clutch master cylinder will have similar symptoms, make sure that you look closely at each one of these items to determine which one is the problem ( the one malfunctioning is the one leaking fluid ).
