2009 Ford Mustang Clutch Slave Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the clutch slave cylinder on 2009 Ford Mustang?

  A: The workbench service of a clutch slave cylinder requires dismantling the transmission unit followed by its placement onto a workbench. Remove first the connector from the clutch slave cylinder and afterward remove its two retaining bolts. Start by removing the clutch slave cylinder through the outward pull motion while freeing the tube from the retaining clip. A new clutch slave cylinder should replace the current unit if the boot shows damage or brake fluid leakage along with signs of a faulty or damaged release bearing that produces rough resistance upon bearing rotation. When installing a new retaining clip after inspection work on the clutch slave cylinder you must first insert its tube into the clip before tightening the two bolts at 20 Nm (177 lb-in). The hydraulic tube should be connected to the clutch slave cylinder at this point before transmission engine assembly. Verify proper connection by listening for a clicking sound and perform a mechanical tug test. Installation of the transmission requires bleaching the clutch hydraulic system during the final steps.
