Clutch Master & Slave Cylinders

Replaced the clutch master ands slave cylinders, master cylinder was totally busted and the piston had popped out the unit. 

New parts came from 911 Design and were reasonably priced, for a change. 😃


The master cylinder is easily accessed on the 944 S2 as it is a totally separate unit 😀 
  

The slave under the car on the gearbox requires the removal of the starter motor.



Bleeding the unit was fairly simple with the use of a brake pressure bleeder, a one-man brake bleed kit on the slave cylinder nipple to do the bleeding and a syringe to remove the excess fluid from the reservoir. With a few opening and closing of the nipple the fluid was air free and the clutch pedal returned as expected. 


The master cylinder leaked all its fluid down the back of the carpet and soaked the soundproofing. I used the jet wash to clean the break fluid out and left it to dry for a few days. To get to the soundproofing, you have to take the gas pedal out and the rear hatch release button, then you pull the carpet up and pull the piece of soundproofing out for cleaning. 
Removing the pedal and carpet is detailed in the previous post Sticking Throttle Pedal
