2001 Lincoln LS Clutch Slave Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the clutch slave cylinder on 2001 Lincoln LS?

  A: The procedure for repairing or servicing the clutch slave cylinder requires workers to remove the transmission and hydraulic tube connector before working on the bolts securing the slave cylinder and drain tube. Before working on the slave cylinder you must take out its securing bolts then remove the drain tube. The clutch release hub and bearing come together as an assembled unit and have relubrication needed so solvents should never touch them. Failure to keep these parts as an assembly and disassembly for checking purposes is needed. Surface cleaning should address all oil and dirt contaminants on both clutch release hub and bearing components. During inspection rotate the outer race of the clutch release hub and bearing under pressure until a new component becomes necessary because rough bearing rotation is observed. Surface scoring and burrs on the clutch release hub and bearing which could affect their sliding movement should be inspected. Any impurities detected need to be smoothed with fine-grade emery paper. The installation ends with reversing the removal steps followed by conducting a clutch hydraulic system bleeding procedure.
