What are the Clutch Master Cylinder & Slave Cylinder all about?

A clutch master cylinder contains a reservoir that stores the brake fluid. It is connected to the clutch slave cylinder through hoses. When you push the clutch pedal, brake fluid flows from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder, applying the pressure necessary to move (engage) the clutch.

It has internal and external seals that can fail. If the external seals wear out, the clutch master cylinder will leak brake fluid, reducing the amount of fluid in the car and causing the clutch to malfunction. You may also find leaked brake fluid down by the clutch pedal (inside the car). If the internal seals wear out, the clutch fluid will continue to circulate inside instead of being directed to the slave cylinder. In that case, the clutch pedal will go all the way to the floor when you apply the clutch.

Keep in mind:

  • Whenever the clutch master cylinder is replaced, it is recommended to replace the slave cylinder as well. When the master cylinder goes bad, it is extremely common for the slave cylinder to follow suit.
  • Note that some clutch slave cylinders are installed inside the transmission. To replace this type of slave cylinder the transmission has to be removed.

How it's done:

  • Inspect clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder.
  • Check the condition of brake fluid.
  • Inspect the operation of clutch pedal.
  • Remove and replace clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder.
  • Bleed all air from the master cylinder.
  • Test drive the vehicle.

Our recommendation:

  • During an oil change, the mechanic should check the amount of brake fluid. If you feel a change in the way the clutch pedal feels (softer pedal) when stepping on it, you should have a mechanic inspect the clutch master cylinder and hose.
  • Clutch fluid should be changed every 24,000 miles.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Clutch Master Cylinder & Slave Cylinder?

  • Clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor.
  • Brake fluid leaking around the clutch pedal.
  • Not able to change gears.

How important is this service?

The clutch master cylinder stores brake fluid. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the fluid is transferred from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder, which provides the pressure needed to engage the clutch. If the clutch master cylinder is leaking, it won’t hold the proper amount of brake fluid, and there won’t be enough pressure from the fluid to engage the clutch.

Kia Rio L4-1.6L - Alternator - Brandon, Florida
Jose is the best! We've been telling everyone we know what a great experience we had. Car repairs can be so stressful-- especially when you've been ripped off by repair shops. This was not stressful at all! I booked online, Jose let me know he was on his way, he fixed it in less time than estimated, and that was that. Couldn't have been easier. The cost was between $200-300 less than the estimates I got from nearby shops. I won't waste time getting other estimates in the future, I will use this service from now on.

Aaron showed up on time and completed the repair as promised. More importantly, he fixed the issue I've been having with the car at a reasonable price. Will definitely book him again should I need a mechanic.

Kia Rio L4-1.6L - AC is not working - Richardson, Texas
He was so polite and fixed my AC on my car and found another problem I had and sent me a quote to fix it and schedule an appt. for it. I was hoping I would get him again as he was very knowledgeable and I wouldn’t have to explain my problem I’m having again, but I’m sure the mechanic that is coming out will be good also. I highly recommend Jacob and it was so convenient to have a mechanic fix my car at home as I’m retired and don’t get out much. Thank you,
