Member Contributer DFerrell Posted October 19, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 19, 2014 Has anyone had a slow leak from the clutch fluid? Haven't had it go dry but it does seem to drop. Haven't got around to checking the slave but perhaps next oil change. Shifting seem so so like I get a little feed back from the shift lever. Thought I might go ahead and bleed the system to see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer FJ12Ryder Posted October 19, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 19, 2014 Bleeding isn't likely to cure the problem since it is probably a leaky slave cylinder seal. Might as well bite the bullet and replace the seals and be done with it. If you do it before it leaks too bad you may not have to repaint the slave cylinder. Brake fluid will eat the paint right off given just a short amount of time. Not too unusual for shifting/clutch action to suffer as the leaky seal may be causing the clutch rod to suffering from some short stroking.

Member Contributer DFerrell Posted October 19, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 19, 2014 Is it just the one seal on the piston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR4Lee Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I think I'd fix that pronto. Because the next thing is the clutch lever has no resistance, and it doesn't work at all. Maybe you can stomp it into first and get rolling without it, but only if you have zero mechanical sympathy for your transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer FJ12Ryder Posted October 19, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 19, 2014 Seal on piston: 22865-MJ8-003 Looks to be a pretty cheap fix. Maybe the gasket too if you're feeling unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Ranger77 Posted October 21, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 21, 2014 Theres also the seal for the push rod. I went ahead and got a new piston since it wasnt that much. Rather just use a new one than hope I got the old one smooth enough it does tear up the new seal. I did smooth out the slave cylinder. Id recommend fixing it asap. I got lucky and mine blew out when I was just taking off from a dead stop at my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I think I'd fix that pronto. Because the next thing is the clutch lever has no resistance, and it doesn't work at all. Or, the next thing is that the clutch gives up the ghost because the slave piston isn't fully retracting and the clutch never fully engages.

Member Contributer DFerrell Posted October 22, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ordered the seal but went ahead and bled the system any way. Much improved now! That and a chain adjustment really helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
