sharkey964 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 After spending the last 2 days replacing the seal at the rear of the flywheel,I finaly got everything back together,tried the clutch & the pedal went straight to the floor.I looked underneath,there was clutch fluid leaking out of the wading plug hole in the bell housing. I took out the slave cylinder & the piston was completely out of the cylinder.The push rod was in place in the clutch fork. Any ideas what I have done wrong,or why it's done this? Thanks in advance.

western Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 clutch pushrod not reinserted into slave cylinder would be my first thought, if it was in, the piston couldn't come out when pedal was operated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkey964 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 I suppose the pushrod could have come out of the slave whilst disconected. I'll have a prod in the slave hole in the bell housing to see if I can tell if the fork & release bearing are located properly.

western Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 possible the rod dropped out if the fork/release bearing backwards whileengine/gearbox was split for the other work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwhacker Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hi. When the slave cylinder is removed you should be able to see the end of the rod. Yes you could try and fish the rod end up to the hole but I'd be surprised and happy for you if you get it poking out. I picked up a tip from this forum to cable tie the rod in/on the end of the arm that sits inside the bell housing. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
