Subject:      clutch slave cylinder question
Content-Type: text/plain

If, when a helper steps on the clutch pedal, I can see the clutch slave
cylinder piston push the release lever down at least one inch, does this
mean for certain that the clutch slave cylinder is working properly
(i.e., it's not bad)?

Thanks for the help,
David
(with stuck '87)

By the way, a mechanic that I've used in California insists that the
clutch not disengaging (my current problem) must be due to a hydraulic
failure of some sort rather than a failure of the throw out bearing.  He
says that a bad or broken bearing would lead to clutch slippage rather
than an inability to get out of gear.  Any disagreements here?
