2008 Ford Mustang Clutch Slave Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the clutch slave cylinder on 2008 Ford Mustang?

  A: The first step of servicing and repairing the clutch slave cylinder involves removing the transmission then setting it on a workbench for work. The connection from the clutch slave cylinder requires removal before you remove its two securing bolts. Remove the clutch slave cylinder while pulling it outward by detaching the tube from its retaining clip. The inspection process of the clutch slave cylinder requires checking for a damaged boot alongside brake fluid leakage and assessing the state of the release bearing and clutch slave cylinder. Heavy pressure during bearing rotation indicates the need to replace the clutch slave cylinder. Position the new retaining clip into the transmission before inserting the clutch slave cylinder so installing the two bolts at 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) torque to complete the assembly. Secure the transmission to the engine only after you hear the clutch slave cylinder click during proper connection and verify the line stays locked within the fitting through line tug tests. Reinstallation of the transmission must be completed before performing a clutch hydraulic system bleed operation.
