clutch

[supalvr]

So I went to leave work last night and went to start the car, only when I pushed the clutch in, the pedal stayed on the floor. I pulled it out, popped the hood looked at the clutch master, just to realize that is was low. I topped it up then pumped the pedal and got some of it back. Now, the clutch is working, but the pedal doesn't rebound all the way like it did before. Could I have a blown clutch master and or slave? if so how difficult is it to fix?

Bleed the system.

 

[supalvr]

would I bleed from the slave?

 

[D.J.T.]

Yes. Pump pump pump. Hold it all the way down. Have a second hand open and close the bleeder screw quickly. Your master cylinder or slave may be leaking

thanks

and if you're low you're probably leaking from the master or slave.

Just replace the slave and the master. Those 25 year old seals prolly went out and you're leaking fluid.

so my clutch master and slave did need to be replaced they were shot.

I'd highly recommend using genuine Toyota parts for these as well. The aftermarket ones seem to last a year or so, while the original stuff lasts 20 years.

Highly agree

as I just moved and can only really work on the side of the street, I am going to let the shop do this one, and yes I will be using toyota parts. They were just ordered, and I thought they would be a lot more money than they were. All in all it came to like $75 cdn for both parts.

Dude, you're damn near local to me. If it wasn't so damn cold out, I'd volunteer to fix this at my place. Next time, please arrange for your car to break in the summer, and in Richmond.

lol, next time, I am driving my Celica GT-S right now so I don't completely break down on the side of the road somewhere. I am letting the INDEPENDENT SPEED SHOP do the work. But hopefully if I talk real nice to her she will only break down in the summer.
