I have a 2004 Saturn Vue that the slave cylinder went out on. Finally got the part put it back together and have no pedal pressure. I have bled it a few times and still have the same thing as before I started the replacement just without the fluid running out the bottom of the ******. Am I just being to impatient or could something else be wrong?

Alot of times the slave goes bad and takes out the master, the master cultch cylinder is like the brake master but smaller and is for the clutch, what happens is the seal inside the master travels all the way and rips . this happens alot, replace the master. make sure to bleed the master before connecting the line to it, then bleed the slave, you will need to bleed this a few times , and then let it sit for a few min, then with the fluid full you will need to pump the pedal by hand, this may take 20 pumps then let it sit again, this sounds crazy but its so hard to bleed some of these, you will repeat this step until you have a good pedal, you will see after you get a pedal you will then drive the car and pedal will get better and better as the air in the system will flow out into resivor,maybe you will get lucky and get a good pedal after the master is done but dont bet on it, after the new master you dshould get fliud out of master and bleed a few times and then follow what i wrote. good dat.

Close the system,make sure you have no leaks,wipe the lines down.(you are suppose to use a vacuum system).with the master filled have some one pump the clutch 3 times (they may have to help bring it up)hold the clutch and open the slave. fluid should drip. do this 3 time and you will get a pedal.If for some reason you dont get a pedal start with the master cyclinder.

Clutch pedal sticks coming back up when released quickly

You need to inspect the feed line if the return line is squezed or kinked in any place it will impede return and the cylinder will seem stuck. If the lines are servicable remove the cylinder and bench test and bleed. it might be a burr left in the cylinder. Also check travel of the pedal without the system in place. Finally When I replace one of these units I have to bleed it out of the vehicle with another person holding the slave cylinder because there is no bleed screw on the slave cylinder. If you removed the little brass screw you broke it. I find there is no way to get out all the air unless the slave cylinder is held verticle with consant pressure applied to the throw arm. Then when bled reinsert into vehicle.

Manual trans won't go into any gear (stuck in neutral); clutch pedal has no pressure (like stepping on whipped cream).

Find the small "clutch" master cylinder under the hood and follow the line all the way down to the slave cylinder. Have a helper move the pedal up and down while you watch the slave cylinder. If the rod or lever does not move in and out with the movement of the pedal, you have a failed master or slave cylinder. You may have to buy the whole thing as a pre-bled unit.

2002 saturn vue, manual shifting problems

You have a slave cylinder for this trans. Pump the clutch pedal 25 times with the engine OFF. Then start it and try shifting it into each gear while parked. If this make it work your slave cylinder needs to be replaced

Clutch pedal goes to floor no preasure filled and bled slave cyl same result

Hi:
If you have bled the system, you are down to either having a bad clutch master cylinder, or a bad clutch slave cylinder. You could eliminate the slave cylinder by removing the line and capping it off, and if you have a firm pressure on the clutch pedal ( don;'t try to push it down, just check for pressure!) then your slave cylinder is bad. If you cap off the line, and bleed the system, and the pedal still has no pressure, then your clutch master cylinder is bad!

I cant get pressure to my clutch pedal in my 1995 saturn sc2. i changed out the slave cylinder and the clutch. I tried bleeding the slave cylinder, and still no pressure, why?

You cannot bleed these clutch hydraulics. They are meant to be a pre-bled sealed unit that you buy. You should never replace just the slave or the master. Buy them both and replace them as one unit which is already bled from the factory. Otherwise you will experience what you are describing.

Make sure you install the slave cylinder (into the transmission hole) first and then the master cylinder (pedal side) next and do not hook up the pedal until everything is installed.

If you take the slave out with the pedal attached it will extend the rod and ruin the hydraulics rendering them useless.

No clutch pressure in pedal

Something isn't put together right or is out of adjustment. At the very least, a spring should be keeping the pedal up.

When you "bled the lines" did you also bled through the slave cylinder?
