It makes me wonder how many were fitted in the first place, I've never had one go missing.

So no one knows then?

There seems to be 2 main failures, the bracket cracks so the movement of the slave piston just makes the bracket flex instead of moving the operating lever, or the plastic which locates the cylinder on the bracket breaks which allows the piston to get spat out when you operate the pedal.

That's what I was looking for Pete cheers the bracket is okay so need to look at the slave itself and see what it looks like.

Is it worth checking the clevis pin at the bottom of the actual clutch pedal. Think the pin can wear, or the hole goes oval.

That gives a bit more wear that effects the clutch movement.

old thread but,with mine the bite is at the bulkhead,ive checked slave/braket etc,the bracket doesnt seen to flex,but the slave is,ive temporarily cable tied it to death,is it just brake fluid that goes in it,and would it be possible to bleed the system,without removing the slave,ive bought a new one today,as i dont wanna take my only one off,and something goes wrong
