• Q: How to service and repair the Clutch Slave Cylinder on 2000 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The first step to work on the Clutch Slave Cylinder requires disconnecting the vehicle's negative Battery Cable. Disassemble the lh i/p lower insulator panel and clutch master cylinder rod retainer followed by removal of the clutch master cylinder rod from the clutch pedal. Rise the vehicle and apply proper vehicle support. Release the clutch actuator cylinder hose at the engine's rear end from its hose retaining clip. While utilizing the hydraulic clutch line separator (J 36221) users must activate the white circular release ring on the actuator hose and carefully pull the master cylinder hose until separation occurs, while maintaining protection of both hose ends from debris and damage. Take the driveline support assembly along with transaxle out of the vehicle before removing clutch actuator cylinder mounting bolts to extract the clutch actuator cylinder from the driveline support assembly. To install the clutch actuator cylinder place it on the driveline support assembly followed by applying 12 nm (106 inch lbs.) torque to the actuator cylinder mounting bolts. Place the driveline support assembly together with the transaxle back into the vehicle while making sure the clutch hydraulic hose quick connect fittings remain tightly engaged. Check the hydraulic hoses for twists and kinks before installing the clutch actuator cylinder hose into the hose retaining clip at the engine's rear section. After lowering the vehicle position the clutch master cylinder rod inside the clutch pedal and secure the clutch master cylinder rod retainer. Attach the negative Battery Cable to its mounting point while tightening the bolt to 15 nm (11 ft. Lbs.). Reinstall the lh i/p lower insulator panel. Proceed to program the transmitters while finishing by performing a bleed on the clutch hydraulic system.
