Now what?
As part of my $5,200 repair bill, my slave cylinder was changed out. After 3 weeks of driving, my clutch pedal occasionally fails to return and I have to pull it back up with my toe. This started the other day when I was in my driveway and stalled the car with the pedal depressed. I pulled it back up then looked under the car and saw a few drips of fluid. The car shifts and brakes fine. No problems until this morning.
Do I need to bleed the system to fix this? |
Air in the line won't cause fluid to escape. I'd want to know exactly what the fluid is.
|
Since it came from below the slave cylinder, I assume it's hydraulic fluid (brake/clutch).
|
There are 2 parts in that system. The master cylinder below your foot and the slave on the trans.
Sounds like a stop at the shop that did the work is needed. |
Check out Pedro's Boxster website. He's in Florida too. Maybe you get his take on your shop.

Likely the clutch master cylinder. Operates on brake fluid from the brake resovoir.
|
Gotta add that it's not uncommon to have a master fail after replacing the slave....
Don't despair, these are not big repairs compares to what you've already been through. |
An update to the continuing saga:
The clutch pedal only fails to return when in reverse. I pulls back easily with the toe of my shoe. Any ideas on a remedy? |
What did the shop that did the $5,200 worth of repairs say?
|
Waiting on a call back from them. Hopefully soon.
