When did the clutch slave cylinder go out?
On to the story… Last Tuesday my clutch slave cylinder went out. I pushed the clutch in and started the car and it jumped forward (transmission was in first gear). So I put it in neutral and started it and with the clutch completely to the floor I was able to get in gear and get going.
Why does the clutch stop working on my focus?
My girlfriends focus the clutch has stopped working. The clutch pedal goes up and down but it won’t go into gear. The brake/clutch fluid is very low however the brakes are OK. I’m surprised there is no level warning sensor on this car. Anyway I topped up the reservoir but it has not made any difference. What seems to be the problem?
What happens when you put the clutch to the floor?
I pushed the clutch in and started the car and it jumped forward (transmission was in first gear).

Where does the brake fluid go in a clutch?
When you push the clutch pedal, brake fluid flows from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder, applying the pressure necessary to engage the clutch. When you release the clutch pedal, a return spring located on or in the slave cylinder will force the brake fluid back to the clutch master cylinder.
How long does it take to replace clutch slave cylinder?
Plug the disconnected hydraulic clutch line because if you loose all your fluid you’ll have to bleed brakes too since the brakes and clutch share the master cylinder fluid reservoir (genius design BTW). Total working time was about 10 hours, with 2 guys for the whole job and 3 for most.
