Clutch Slave Cylinder

Buy a clutch slave cylinder: precise clutching again

A spongy clutch pedal, jerky starting or a slipping clutch are clear indications of a defect in the clutch's hydraulic system. The cause often lies in the clutch slave cylinder. At ecanis, you will find the right car parts to help your vehicle shift smoothly again. Depending on the condition, you can have the clutch slave cylinder repaired in individual areas or replace it completely. This gives you a reliable and long-lasting solution for your clutch system.

The clutch slave cylinder is the hydraulic component that transfers the pressure from the clutch master cylinder to the clutch. It converts the hydraulic pressure into a linear movement and ensures that the clutch disengages and re-engages. It is usually located near the gearbox in the drivetrain and is therefore a central component in the entire system. If the slave cylinder functions perfectly, the force from the clutch pedal is transmitted precisely and with minimal loss.

If the clutch slave cylinder is damaged, symptoms such as jerky starting, a slow build-up of power or an uneven pressure point on the pedal often occur. In some cases, the pressure can no longer be built up properly and the clutch does not disengage cleanly. This reduces driving comfort and can put additional strain on other clutch components. An intact slave cylinder, on the other hand, ensures a direct pedal feel, clean shifting and a controlled start in everyday driving.

Repair or replace the clutch slave cylinder

When can a clutch slave cylinder repair be useful?

A repair is particularly useful if there are slight leaks in the seals or connections and the rest of the component is still in good condition. In such cases, special accessories can help to replace seals or reliably seal connections again. It is important to check the clutch slave cylinder regularly and only repair it if no major damage such as severe corrosion or cracks are recognisable.

If there are clear leaks, the Housing is corroded or cracks are visible, a complete replacement is usually the better choice. Typical signs of this are a pedal that falls through, problems with shifting or a lack of pressure in the system. In these cases, you should have the clutch slave cylinder replaced and install a new, suitable spare part. This will restore stable and safe functioning of the clutch and reduce the risk of consequential damage to the drivetrain.

Using the car spare parts search at ecanis, you can search for the right clutch slave cylinder with just a few details such as vehicle model or HSN/TSN.

FAQ

How can I recognise a defective clutch slave cylinder?

Typical signs are a spongy or yielding clutch pedal, difficulty engaging the gears, jerky starting or a pressure point that is constantly changing. Visible brake fluid loss in the transmission and clutch area can also indicate a defective clutch slave cylinder. If these symptoms occur, the clutch system should be checked promptly.

How long does a clutch slave cylinder last?

The service life depends heavily on the driving style, driving profile and maintenance of the vehicle. A clutch slave cylinder often lasts for many years, but can wear out more quickly due to high mileage, frequent city driving or outdated Brake Fluid. Regular maintenance of the hydraulic system and a timely fluid change help to extend the service life.

What should I consider when buying a clutch slave cylinder?

It is important that the clutch slave cylinder fits exactly to your vehicle and the installed clutch system. Ensure the correct assignment via the vehicle data or HSN/TSN and compare the connection type, mounting points and design. It can also be helpful to pay attention to information such as material, manufacturing quality and customer ratings in order to find a suitable spare part for your requirements.
