okay theres a couple of things that come up here. i just got a new tranny, new clutch, new clutch master and slave cylinders put in. the weird part is that before i gave my car to the shop, it had a check engine light on the codes were bank 1 fuel malfunction and cylinder 2 misfire (it didnt really misfire though...idk) anyway when i got the car back the clutch felt fine and everything was going good shifting wise and everything. i got home. go back out for a drive and my clutch is at the floor when it engages and the check engine light went on again and it kinda ran like crap again. i went back to the shop and they bled the clutch for me and the check engine light turned off again... the clutch felt brand new(like it should) and everything was running fine they told me if it does it again that it has to be this cylinder that is bolted on the tranny, its right before the slave cylinder.... and what do you know... the clutch feels like crap right now and im guessin its that part.... anyone know what that cylinder is called? where can i get one? and i have no idea why the clutch would make the cpu throw codes....
 
This is how it goes: Master -> clutch line->slave . There is nothing in between. If you still have the stock clutch line I'd recommend upgrading to full length SS clutch line. And you need to find out where you get an air in the system from.
 
so this will go straight from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder? i know there is another cylinder there... i would take a picture but i dont have a camera it would be better if i can just get rid of this cylinder thing whatever it is anyway
 
Im pretty sure there isnt any cylinder there, but yes this aftermarket clutch line is far more superior than stock lines
 
Yes there is a cylinder there. It's bolted onto the trans above and to the left of the slave cylinder. I believe it's referred to as a reservoir and I have no idea what it does.
 
There is a cylinder there but im not sure about its purpose you have to replace the whole line and the new one will have that cylinder and your check engine light was most likely off because they had to take the battery out to replace the clutch which reset the code

so youre saying that when i get a new clutch line the cylinder comes with it right?
and the check engine light thing made no sense. yes they disconnected the battery the first time and the check engine light went out. the same time i felt my clutch system go bad, the check engine light went back on. and when i took it back to my shop and bled the whole system the check engine light turned back off we didnt disconnect the battery or anything... wtf? LOL
