Changing my clutch

[Rangerboy]

I've been feeding the master cylinder every couple of days and I'm wondering what is the most likely thing that could be causing this? I'm guessing the slave cylinder. If I change this I guess I might as well go ahead and change everything right? You have to drop the tranny to do it so I'm thinking that might be the best thing to do. Never done this before so it's a new one for me.

In that boat with you, Rangerboy.

Starting on it tomorrow.



Guy I bought it from said he replaced the clutch about 2 or 3 years ago, but if I am gonna swap the slave, might as well do the clutch. Especially if any DOT fluid got on the clutch surface.

I want to say the original lasted about 7 years, but after that the new parts last only 2 to 3 years or so. I've had it replaced at a shop, but I don't want to pay that much this time.

Before you take it apart make sure you see fluid coming out of the bell housing and check behind the master cylinder for fluid.One of the things I do wrong is think I know whats wrong go to fix it without confirming it with a complete diagnosis.It can be expensive to do it that way.

Yeah, I'm getting the feeling it might be the master cylinder / and or lines to it that are leaking??? I'm probably going to check this first. The clutch engages and shifts fine when I fill the master cylinder back up.
