vr6paul 0 Posted May 30, 2014 Hi there, I'm looking for these 2 parts and wondering if I should consider 2nd hand. It's for a 94 vr so would parts from any other versions suit? Many thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DriverVR6 11 Posted May 30, 2014 The clutch slave cylinder is pretty cheap and readily available so I would buy a new one. The clutch master cylinder could be a problem as the early ones are obsolete, but you can still buy new later ones. So it depends on which one you have fitted to your car.

leon263 0 Posted May 31, 2014 I completely lost the clutch on my '94 VR6 recently and got away with just fitting a new slave cylinder at around £44 so it might be worth trying that before you buy both. It can be done from above without removing anything else. I did consider the master cylinder as shown at the link above, but if you read the small print in the ad. it does state that it's for a left hand drive car ......... not sure if that would matter or not but in the event it wasn't necessary anyway.

Dox 22 Posted May 31, 2014 Whats wrong with the clutch? If its hydraulic failure the master will allow fluid to return to the reservoir (the clutch won't clear the flywheel), the slave will leak fluid onto the floor. I presume you've tried bleeding it?

vr6paul 0 Posted May 31, 2014 I've had my cousin look at it and he thinks the seals are away. Car has been sitting for 6 years and clutch pedal wasn't coming all the way back up without help. Now there is no pressure at all. Best to try slave only first? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6paul 0 Posted May 31, 2014 Will give that a try. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 22 Posted May 31, 2014 If the slave has failed hydraulically it will leak fluid externally (on the floor?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
