Where is the Clutch Release Cylinder?

[Droopynut]

My clutch master cylinder needs to be replaced...I know where that is

But where is the clutch release cylinder? (is this what is commonly called the slave cylinder?)

I saw something down by the back of the motor on the passenger side...kinda on the bell housing. Could that be it?

I have a leak and it's not the master cylinder so I would imagine it is the release cylinder.

Thanks, DAN

I forget.....but follow the hose from the clutch master................to the slave

Yep, thats it.
Check the inside of the firewall where the clutch pedal meets the cylinder, they usually leak out the back of the MC and leak inside the cabin.

this may be superfluous, but I just saw the thread and figured why not add a picture.

Note: Pre 85 clutch slave pictured above.

There's been some questions about that lately.

that's the master cylinder...isn't he asking about the slave cylinder

The clutch has a master cylinder as well, hence the "slave"
Since it is much the same as the brake MC, it will often fail in the same manner.
