2005 Ford Mustang Clutch Slave Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to Properly Maintain and Inspect the Clutch Slave Cylinder on a 2005 Ford Mustang?

  A: Service and repair procedures for the clutch slave cylinder should begin with transmission removal followed by positioning it on a workbench. Evaluate the clutch slave cylinder by unbolting it from its place then inspect for damages such as a torn boot or leaking brake fluid with possible examination of the worn release bearing. Apply pressure to the release bearing while rotating it; rough rotational resistance indicates a faulty clutch slave cylinder so a replacement is necessary. The new retaining clip goes into place and the clutch slave cylinder needs to be installed with two bolts secured at 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs. torque). When preparing to connect the transmission to the engine start by attaching the hydraulic line to the clutch slave cylinder and listen for the clicking sound that indicates correct connection before testing the fitting by pulling on the line. The clutch hydraulic system requires bleaching before transmission installation.
