Clutch Slave Cylinder

[Andy6]

So I was contently driving along, went for a casual gear change and the clutch pedal decided it wanted to stay stuck to the floor! After struggling to get it home I found that the Slave cylinder had bent and leaked fluid everywhere! Has anyone had this happen to them? And does anyone know where to source a replacement slave? currently browsing Ebay atm.

Oh and that second bolt was in there but I removed it before the pic was taken

Not had one bend like that, the do fail but not that bad. Is the clutch fork moving as it should? Because for the slave to bend its got to havw some hell of a resistance

 

[Andy6]

I'm not sure tbh, but yer I can't think of any other reason this would happen. I've got nothing to actuate the fork at the moment so I can't tell.

the bit that goes and pushes the clutch fork doesn't look bent form the pics its because the bolt has been removed, the slave cylinder could of failed because of the seals giving way, or the clutch fluid being old dirty etc... its no biggie just slap a new one in and bleed it and you should be good to go.

That bit was actually bent, don't know what caused it to fail but I managed to get another one yesterday, fitted it and I am back in buisness!
