Clutch Prob 87 900S
Posted by Barry E. Muller (more from Barry E. Muller) on Fri, 9 Jul 1999 10:41:06
Hello,
Its been 6 trouble-free months of driving my '87 900S so I guess the old girl was due for a little problem. About a week ago I started grinding gears (oddly enough only when I shifted into 3rd - go figure). Things went down hill since then: less and less throw 'till the clutch engages and the the peddle doesn't feel as if it has as much pressure anymore.
I haven't 'noticed' any external leaks near the master or slave cylinders and although I had to add brake fluid about 3 weeks ago (used Dot 4) the level hasn't gone down since then. I figure I'm getting leaks past the seals on either my master or slave cylinders.
So, is there an easy way to determine which part is defective or is it a trial and error thing?
Also, how much does a slave cylinder cost and how much for a master cylinder?
Thanks,
Barry
