I have a 91 s-10 2.5 4cyl. and the clutch won't engage due to a cylinder leak. i think.?

Question

the guy i bought the truck from says he replaced both cylinders but when he did the clutch still wouldnt engage and the fluid level is low as well in the master cylinder resevoir. is there an easy fix or do i have to pull it all apart and start over? or do u think it might be something else. the clutch will engage but it takes alot of effort

Answer 1

Prolly air in the system. Fill up the master, pummp it up and open the bleeder on the slave. Do that 'till no bubbles come out.

Answer 2

Usually if there is a fluid leak in the slave or the clutch master, it will cause the clutch to not disengage. Grinding gears will be the result. The clutch defaults engaged. A slipping clutch means that the plate is worn out or the pressure plate has lost tension. If a clutch was put in it recently, look for the clutch plate to be in backwards.

Answer 3

Are you able to read and do mechanic work with tools? Get a Haynes book from your local auto parts store for your vehicle and read the operation and fixes for this problem, may be something you can fix. You can take it to a local garage and have them look at and give you an estimate to fix. As for most clutches they have a pressure plate and throw out bering that may be the problem as well as the clutch plate may need replacing all parts about $160.00 to $ 200.00. As for the brake cylinder just add brake fluid to fill. The cylinders for the clutch I am not familier with. Good luck.

Answer 4

was the pilot bering replaced also
if pilot bering or input shaft is worn it will cause hard engagement problems and possibly noise
