Subject:      Question about Clutch Slave
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII


I dropped the tranny out of a customer's van today (2 hours) and noticed that
the clutch slave piston seems really sloppy.  I can push it back up with a bit
of effort and it doesn't make any noises but it seems that the piston itself
can be moved from side to side very easily and, if I wanted to, it feels like
I could pull the piston right out of the boot.  I don't remember the slave on
my '85 feeling like this.  Is this normal or is it time to think about a new
slave?  Now would be the time to do it since everything is apart and all.  Any
help would be appreciated.

PS still trying to figure out why the removal of clutch slave is supposed to
be so difficult.  Did it all by myself in ten minutes today.
