I had my clutch, clutch slave, master, and flywheel changed at the end of June. They, coincidentally, were all bad, so they were replaced by a certified mechanic. My clutch pedal has not felt "right" since, maybe, two weeks after getting the work done. It just didn't feel as tight and crisp. I figured the parts were broken in, so I sorta ignored it. I decided to bleed the clutch thinking there might be a little air in the lines. Now there is NO pedal pressure. The pedal comes back, it has no resistance. I used a self bleeder, then called someone over to help bleed, thinking that the bleeder was leaking air. There has been no improvement. I took it to Toyota and they think it's my slave. i'll know tomorrow. Has anyone ever heard of a slave going out that fast? 2 in one year sound very unusual. I'm thinking something else must be causing it to fail. It's a Perfection from Advance Auto Parts.

i've gottan a bad slave before, just take it back to where u got it and they will give u a new one

 

its prolly a rebuilt unit. when i replaced my master and slave in my 84, i got them from napa. that was like 5+ years ago. still working perfect.

 

Nothing is wrong with your slave... trust me!! once you let the pressure out of the clutch line, its a real PITA to get pressure back. go to sears, buy a mityvac speed bleeder for around $40 bucks and that will solve your issue.

The way toyota designed this system is very flawed. Sometimes while bleeding it, air bubbles can get trapped by where the slave bolts to the tranny. i usually use the mityvac to vacuum out the whole system, then crack one of the hard lines loose till all of the air hisses out. This job takes a while, i would take it to a mechanic if you're not up for it. best of luck!!!

 

Mr.Dizzle was right. Damn air stuck near slave. Cost me $100 to bleed at Toyota. Took them FOREVER, though. At least I didn't have to worry about it. Thanks guys.
