Clutch Slave Cylinder Aftermarket MX5 Mk1/2/2.5 Reviews

3.4 Rating 46 Reviews

Quality Aftermarket Replacement Clutch Slave CylinderThese are made in Europe to OEM standards. The slave cylinder can be rebuilt, but the cost is hardly justified when a great quality replacement can be yours for such a low price. The clutch slave cylinder should be located behind the driver side wheel. Remove the two bolts, the clutch line and the slave cylinder should come off to the right side. The slave cylinder actuates the clutch arm by use of hydraulic pressure. They do wear over time due to their age and repeated use. The first sign of problems is a vague clutch, followed by some leaking around the seals and eventually total failure. If you start to loose pedal pressure on clutch operation, the most likely cause is loss of fluid from the Clutch Slave Cylinder. Dirt works its way into the cylinder and causes scratches and grooves which lead to fluid leak or air getting in. If your clutch is not as crisp as it used to be, why not replace it or keep one in the garage just in case. These are new, not rebuilt slave cylinders. We have sold a large volume of these with great success and great reviews. Fits all Mk1, Mk2 & 2.5 models, 1989>2005

“Great service from MX5 Parts again. Fitted the part last Saturday which went smoothly enough with the OS wheel removed for better access. I flushed all the old fluid through too as the old stuff was looking a bit black.Clutch now feels more positive which came as no great surprise as the old unit was leaking badly enough to leave a small puddle of fluid on my garage floor. At the price it was a bargain.”

“The usual great, next day delivery from MX5Parts. A fairly easy job to do. On my MK2, I put the front of the car up on axle stands and removed the front offside wheel. I also removed the 4 bolt cover panel from under the gearbox as this allows easier access to the bottom bolt of the slave cylinder.A couple of tips. Crack off but dont yet remove the two 12mm bolts that hold the old unit in position. I used a 12mm ring racket spanner for the bottom bolt and a 12mm socket on the end of a long extension for the top bolt. Be careful with the top bolt, it is at a very slight angle so make sure that your socket is correctly seated on it. Remove the 10mm fluid pipe union completely while the old unit is still in position. Watch out for the hydraulic oil coming out. If you have a pipe clamp, you could clamp the hydraulic hose that passes over the bell housing. I didnt have one so I used cling film over the top of the resorvoir and then put the cap on to stop air from getting in. I also used a syringe to suck out most of the old oil from the resorvoir and then filled it up with fresh oil.I then undid the two 12mm bolts and removed the old unit. Put a dab of grease on the piston then fit the rod and boot. Also put a dab of grease on the clutch lever end of the rod too. I then fitted the fluid pipe to the new unit before bolting it into position. This is a bit tricky and I had to do it one handed but it ensures you dont cross thread the pipe union. You will need to compress the rod into the cylinder to line up the mounting bolts. Tighten it all up. I gravity bled mine initially by loosening the bleed nipple. I used a one man bleed kit. Then with the bleed nipple cracked open I pumped the clutch peddle a number of times. I then topped up the resorvoir and repeated that a couple more times so the nice fresh fluid completely filled the system. Finally, tighten the bleed nipple, check for correct operation of the clutch and feel happy that you have a nice smooth clutch operation.”

“This is first time I've had to replace something like this. The quality of the part looks good, Install time for a first timer was quite a while, mainly due to not having ramps. My clutch is now far more responsive. Fast delivery.”
