Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Transaxle Funking Slave Cylinder

Come to find out, after comparing and researching with the parts department, the slave that was supplied with my SPEC kit was actually a FOCUS slave cylinder. According to my buddy and his parts department the Focus slave cylinder has an o-ring on the slave cylinder and the Contour slave DOES NOT.

So, I am assuming right now if we would have removed the o-ring everything would have been fine. However, I'm not sure.

The new slave has been installed and reportedly working well.

Moral of the story: TRIPLE CHECK YOUR SLAVES THAT ARE SUPPLIED WITH THE CLUTCH KITS.

or just buy one from ford and not worry about it

anyone wanna buy a LUK slave cylinder?????

So do you have to pay for the mistake?

Yup.

When I spoke to SPEC, they said that they would 'inspect' the s lave cylinder and determine if it was the slave cylinder's fault. I asked if I purchased my own if they would reimburse me. Of course their answer was No.

If I wasn't getting a super hook up on instal..I'd be uber pissed.
