Okay, so I just recently replaced my clutch, but it seems like my friction zone is still near the end of the stroke. The only thing I can figure is that the clutch slave cylinder is going out, but I am not sure. Sometimes, there is almost like a catch, where it wont really start to engage until an exact point, and then it gives me very little room to "ease" it into gear.

The last time I had a slave go out on me, I was driving down the road in my old Jeep going into 3rd gear when, all of a sudden, my clutch wasnt working. I would prefer the same not to happen here with my B5. I thought I remember reading that the hydraulic part of the clutch should change the engage point as the clutch gets more worn, but I dont know the exact symptoms of the slave cylinder going out.

Should I change the Slave Cylinder, bleed it, or something else completely.
Any ideas?

 

If you opened the bleeder when installing the clutch its best to pressure bleed the system. You can buy a little $60 hand pump bleeder from ECS and do it that way or have the dealer do it with their special tool. It either has air in the system or its leaking.

 

Awesome. I will see if the Dealer wouldnt mind taking a look at it next time I take it in for a service. I will look for any leaks in the mean time. Thanks again.
