- This is a video I made to help my cousin out in California with a 5 speed Jetta with a bad clutch slave and master cylinder. This video is to demonstrate the clip styles you will encounter.
Excellent!!! No other video explained this very challanging trick. THANKS!!!
Thank you, did the screw driver method and it worked!
Thank you! It helped me with clutch and slave cylinder replacement on a 2000 Golf MK4 2.0L.
gotta say a big thanks..you just saved me a lot of ball ache today!
🤝Finally found a very helpful video for this job cause wow I was stuck👍
Thank you for posting, fighting with same clip as slave on 2000 lincoln ls on slave side.
Outstanding. Many thanks for posting this. I will be doing this later today :-( This certainly explains why 85 bucks is the cheapest I could get my hands on one of these clutch pipes!!
thank you that was very clear and I understand it completely
hello. i tried bleeding the clutch after replacing the clutch slave cylinder and it would not release all air. so i took it back off and bench bled it. have not tried it yet. could you post a video of how to bench bleed the clutch cylinder with it off the vehicle. mine is a 1998 vw beetle 2.0 engine . thanks in advance .
this is what a real car repair looks like - a dirty jumble of rustwelded components with unrecognizable detachment mechanisms that will draw anger, profanity, violence towards inanimate objects, and blood before it's done.
If you don't bleed, the repair won't hold!
oh btw is there an o ring that should be on the line somewhere ? thanks again.
I need to do this later today... this came in very handy! Been kinda wanting to get new lines (doing a 5 speed swap)... why the hell are they 200 bucks for a freaking line? lol. Any leads on where cheaper ones may be available?
Welcome to Maine where is your PB Blaster?
Very helpful....thanks
Thank you sir! I struggled so much with this today. Ended up leaving the damn clip off because I tried to put it on with the line in. Tried it the other way too with much force and effort but I didn't know there was a notch to align. Will try again in the morning when my back is rested. That straight pin is a sob. Hypothetically... if I did this slave cylinder job right and it fixed my clutch from grinding into first at a stop, but soon after the problem happened again, would I be changing the master cylinder next.
Unfortunately for you, your problem may lie with the 1st gear itself, as its the most used, the synchro wears out and the teeth have difficuly ligning up. When I have this problem, I slide it into second, then first. You could also try aligning the shift tower on the trans and the shifter in the car.
@@kyleguerrette9011 I also can not shift into reverse without grinding. Would you happen to know if first and reverse use the same syncro in a 1.8 5 speed beetle? It seems odd to me that pumping the peddal more helps reduce the grinding chance. After a clutch bleed it operates great, but only for 5 shifts or so.
@@KrakPott88 you probably have a clutch leak somewhere
thats weird the end you showed looks the end that came out of my slave and the end that goes in to the master has a skinny pipe sticking out the top (04 2.0 beetle)
I'm sure they parts recycle all through the years. I have an 06 passat whose rear control arms fit many other VWs up to modern with minir changes.
@@kyleguerrette9011 they do but there is special oneong hat on the master side of the hydraulic line. At least for my 03 beetle. No one has ever done a video but this piece of rubber is $30 and can not be bought at any parts stores!!!! On this revision of hydraulic line the master end is different from the slave end despite the master and slave have the same exact hole and clip they decided to make the end for the master different kind of shite design and infuriating. Spent over and scouring the floor and 5 gal bucket do floor dry
hopefully it's the same on the jettas part-for-part. I did the VR6 clutch upgrade and I have no grab until I basically let off the clutch and I am hoping that replacing the line and slave cylinder will fix that issue before I need to replace the clutch again
thanks know I know what I am going too do soon
Hi I need your help desperately 😢. So I have the seals I bought from a vw themselves and I put the small o-ring seal on but they have me another seal for the clutch slave. What seals go into the clutch slave Cylinders?
How do you bleed a V.W passat slave cylinder
I have replaced a 2006 VW Rabbit's Clutch Master Cylinder. There is a tube that connects the Brake Fluid Resevoir to the Clutch Master Cylinder, but I seem to have lost the securing clamp/rubber banding. Do you know where I can acquire that clamp? Thanks. Trying VW dealership maintenance garage now...
Thanks!
If it's a tight fit, you shouldn't need it, that is not under pressure. Mine are not clamped on either end and I do not have leaks. If you did want clamps, I assume you can use a small hose clamp or a fuel line clamp like those from subarus. I am not sure of the size.
Awesome!
the clutch of me vw tauran is no longer good but I can't find the right one 2004
tnks for share bro ,))
Thank you very much!
One question? Hey. Bro. This is really helpful. Can take out the slave cylinder with out having to take the transmission Down . ? I changed the master and slave cylinder. But the pipe that goes into the slave cylinder is leaking at the end of it. Can take the master cylinder out and put it back on it. Without having a problem.
If you are referring to a vw Jetta, yes you can, but you need to get the airbox out to get it.
What about a beetle? 03
@@Johnnyeatsitall same, all MKIV chassis are the same and the beetle is no different, just way more difficult because of the long rain tray.
thanks a lot.
Can I remove clutch master cylinder from 05 jetta without removing the pedal itself? My nephews car and I'm trying to help. He just lost pedal with no other symptoms. Sticks to floor. I've tried bleeding slave and it will. But pedal keeps going to floor. I noticed when he'd press clutch pedal, fluid was leaking from brake/clutch reservoir cap/lid. I replaced cap lid with a good one that is sealing. I've used my mighty vac at the slave bleeder and got all air out and just fluid going into mighty vac cup. Tightened bleeder and filled reservoir up put cap lid back on and still going to floor and sticking. I've felt carpet under clutch master cylinder and it was completely dry. I've removed slave cylinder and it was dry on piston side. So I don't see anything leaking fluid other then cap that was changed. Could the seal in either master or slave be not leaking fluid but sucking air into the system? I'm old school and no nothing about vw other then older 60s and 70s air cooled vdubs. Do you have any suggestions? Or let me know about pedal having to be removed with master. Thank you in advance!!!
buggyalstare1971 did u fix that problem?? I got the same on mine and can’t find anything to fix it
The lines prob leaking right
What did you experience while driving that this item was not working properly? tell us your story.
I had a cousin wh was having difficulty putting the lines back in, she didn't know there were two different types of clips or how it went together. I haven't had one fail...yet.
Unlike Japanese why is Germany tech so difficult to work with?
Next time focus it sideways in panorama it can not be seen properly in a laptop it cut out the side detail view....
I replaced mines however my pedal is still stuck to the floor any advice please?
Did you bleed the brakes fully? Did you recently replace the clutch?
No i didn't bleed the entire system or change clutches. I bleed the slave cylinder
I now have pedal but no gears and whenever i press the clutch in a grinding sound and no gears
bodies... thats what else.
How much does it cost for the slave andn the lines
How do you get the slave out
The line itself is 85 euros for an original vw part
question if the slave cylinder is bleeding from pumping the clutch is the master still good
Yes
my Jetta got stuck in reverse and wouldn't go in any gear I changed the slave cylinder and it didn't fix the problem do you shave any advice
+Joseph Whitt try to move the big counterweight from under the hood. If it's still stuck, unhook the cables to make sure it's not the shift box
+Kyle Guerrette it's moving
Joseph Whitt what was it cause im having the same issue with my jetta
is there o rings on that line that need replaced?
Not as a one time use thing, only if it is bad and leaking.
@@kyleguerrette9011 so it does have o ring on it correct? after fixing my clutchand reinstall of line to slave cyliner it leaks for some reason. i dont see o ring on my line. should there be one there
@@st.josephtree8639 The nipple that goes into the Slave cylinder has one. However many times its the line itself that leaks at the nipple versus the o-ring actually failing, if your line can turn at the nipple then it's probably where the leak is at least that's where mine was. As soon as I got a new line I was like oh yeah that's not supposed to spin.
Does anyone know what sort of couplings are on the end of the clutch line? Are they a standard fitting with a name? Or only found on VW's? I'm having a hard time finding those fittings I need some for a custom clutch line.
nobodypersonsomeone no custom clutch. Just order it on ecs tuning. Unless you did some kind of build. The fittings are unique to that car. For audi 1.8t it was $153 for the metal line. The stainless steel is easier to install. Look that up
That's b*******
Any idea what size the o rings are I cant stomach to pay Id parts $30 for two o rings. I took my line off and lost the o ring somehow on the master side. Any help much appreciated
I do not. Best chance is to take What's left of the o-ring and line to a parts store. Find an old-head who won't ask you a million-year-make-model questions.
Sorry for the late reply
I tried a bunch of o rings none would work I just spent 40 bucks on the flexible stainless line I cant remember the company's name it worked well. Also I had to bleed everything by pumping fluid from slave up to reservoir. That was the only way I could get it properly bleed and have decent clutch pedal.
Usp motorsports has the flexible stainless line I was talking about. Worked like a charm and about a $100 cheaper than a new factory one.
Glad to hear it worked out for you and you found a solution!
