eventoday Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hi I Have A 97 Subaru Outback. 195000 Miles. I Put A New Clutch In Last Year. When I Put The Engine Back In The Clutch Stuck To Floor. THE LITTLE NIPPLE THINGY WOULD PUSH BACK OUT I Took The Top Cylinder Off And Put It Back On And For Some Reason It Worked. Today It STuck To The Floor Again. Only Now There Is Some Fluid On It And The Tube Going Down. Any Ideas? I Don't Have A Clue. I CAN'T GET IT TO WORK. Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Sounds like your clutch master cylinder is blown. I can't really tell from your description what happened last time, but now you need (well sounds like you need) a new clutch master cylinder. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eventoday Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 thats the top cylinder? the slave cylinder is near the bottom? should i get a used one or are they cheap enough to just go buy a new one?. and do you just replace it and blead the system or is it more complicated? thanks again i would be in a world of trouble without this site. jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Yep, That's the top one. Cheap is a relative term. You can easily price one on the internet or by a call to the local dealer. Seems I paid under a hundred bucks a few years back but check you price under master cylinder, clutch. You might be able to bleed it and get by for a while if money is tight, or they can be rebuilt with new seals, but I'm not sure if Americans would carry the seal kit. If you do this system in a really professional manner you replace both clutch and master cyl, the line if any cracking, and then bleed the system. It works just like a brake system or any other hydraulic system. You need fluid to push, have the air out, and a good seal on the both ends.
