HeswallTR3 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hi all I lost all fluid from the clutch system, I suspect it was the slave that failed, has anyone had any experience of getting a repair kit and more importantly how to rapair said cylinder Thanks in advance Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vivdownunder Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Remove it and inspect, noting the Girling slave cylinder fits forward of the mount flange. Photograph the internals so it goes back the same way. If perfect inside with no pitting in the walls or piston, then all it needs is a new internal rubber seal.and probably a new boot. The repair kit is 505704. If unavailable from a TR supplier, then a brake shop should be able to visually match the seal from a catalogue. When re-assembling, the seal should be lubed (with brake fluid or brake assembly lube) and eased in so the sharp edges don't get damaged. The clutch system needs patience to bleed, with the small internal reservoir in the fluid container kept topped up. Viv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ians Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Same problem a couple of weeks ago on my 3. I just bought a new one from Rimmers for £25 or so. Not worth the hassle/risk of rebuilding it. Bleeding did take slightly more effort than I thought it was going to but I got there in the end. Make sure you fit the cylinder with the bleed valve at the top. It will fit both ways so be careful. I see from the picture you have a 3a so you will need the later cylinder. Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
