well i just bougt my second csvt it runs but the slave cylinder is squirting fluid when you push the clutch in there are 2 lines it looks like one is connected to something the other one is open no cap

should it have a cap?
would that stop my squirting and maybe the clutch could be blead and fixed?

help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
is it squirting from the open "line"? that second line is the bleed port so if it is squirting from there tighten it down and it should stop. if it doesnt then you will have to replace the TOB/slave cylinder.
 
ok that was a stupid question that was the bleeder valve....

anyays i proceeded to bleed the clutch and it would not hold pressure
so im thinking its either slave cyldinder or master

it would squirt fluid the first time after pumping but the second time it would not pedal was super soft
 
Did you continue to add fluid while you were bleeding it? Or did the pedal go soft and stuff stopped coming out because you were out of brake fluid!?!?! This all could be because the bleeder somehow came loose and opened up a smidge and then you tired to bleed the slave and now you are completely out of fluid. Do you know what you are doing?
 
no it didnt run out of fluid i had it full it would only squirt the first time maybe like half an ounce
yes i know what im doing i put a slave cylinder in my 2001 ranger i used to have

the pedal stayed soft
the second time i went to bleed it nothing came out maybe a drop or two ran down the tube
 
tranny pulling question

tranny pulling question

i am going to pull the tranny this weekend
i read that icould just pull the tranny to the side without dropping subframe how much room will this give me

enough for new slave cylinder?
 
you can do it out of the side. A few have done it before but I can't tell you who at the moment. And yes, it would give you enough room to pull the whole trans so doing a slave cylinder won't be a problem.
