Slave cylinder or crankwalk?

[zerok318]

I was told i have crankwalk, they said one of the signs is because my clutch pedal sticks to the floor. When it does this the clutch doesn’t disengage. So I'm think'n about replacing my slave cylinder, but I wanted to check with the dsmtuners first.

Check your hydraulics. It's a cheap fix, if that is what it is.

prolly clutch system..

A: pull the rubber boot on the slave cylinder back.. if its got fluid all in it, change the salve..


B: check under the dash where the pushrod comes out of the firewall and attaches to the clutch pedal, pull that rubber boot back, if there is fluid, replace/rebuild the master..


C: bleed the piss out of it.. have someone pump it up and then hold the pedal to the floor.. relaease the bleed valve on the slave... then tighten, have them pump it back up and repeat untill the new clear fluid you poured in starts coming out of the bleeded..

just make sure ya keep filling the resavour after every 2nd or 3rd bleed..

Ok guys... I feel a bit like a retard for asking this, but I'm more 4x4 that FnF... this is for my gf's '98 GST... her clutch is about 2 years old and she drives VERY conservatively (why drive a GST, then, huh?)... Yesterday her clutch started screwing up... she couldn't get it into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd... I checked the fluid and it was bone dry... so I filled it and went to bed... this a.m. she still couldn't get it, so I looked at it, pumped the pedal for a few, and had no problems... clutch still doesn't feel right, though... when I let off it doesn't spring right back... it doesn't stick, either, though... It just slowly comes back... guessing that could just mean it needs to be blead (sp?)... guess my question is/are:

1. Where would I locate the master and slave cylinders?
2. How difficult is it to replace these?

Sorry if these questions are reposts... I did a search, but didn't come up with what I needed... We would take the car in to the shop, but cash is pretty short right now... I also feel that I may be able to do this myself, as I do most of the work on my truck... I just know these setups are a whole lot different... Thanks for any help you guys can give...

the system has air in it. thats why it feels odd... even though you put fluid there is still air trapped in the system

the slaver cylinder is on the front of the trans facing the front of the car, its a small cylinder with a rubber boot.. it has an arm reaching into the tranny (the pivot fork) there is a little rubber cap on it, pull it off.. that is the bleed screw..
