i just blew out my clutch slave, fluid is squirting out of it when i push the pedal big time, and i've located a used one close to home, but not sure if it will work as it is an fc one. my buddy says they are the same, im just making sure.

i think they are..but it never hurts to try..

:AA:

 

I'm using an FC slave cylinder in mine. Seems to work OK.

 

Actually, yours is not an FC slave. I noticed on the Mazdatrix website that they are different part numbers. Rather than chance it, I tried your stocker with my '84 master and they worked fine together; an FB matched set . I went back and picked up an FC master and it and that FC slave will go into my MG as a matched set.

This means the thread starter's question is still unanswered. I wonder if trochoid or wacky have ever mixed and matched FB and FC clutch hydralics. Someone here must have.

 

yeah, i've used an fc slave before.

 

If its an FB, why not use an FB clutch cylinder?

 

Well, I havent tried since 2 of my bros are parts distributor in LA. But if you can wait until next week, I will let you know. Im re-assemblying my RX-3 and I will be using a S5 tranny.

If there is a any difference, then it will be in the push rod. Thats what I would be checking.

 

GSL-SE= 15/16th
Non-SE + 86-91= 3/4.

 

couldent you just switch rods? or is that not possible..? if i think about it the only thing that would go wrong..would be if the actual housing of the slave would only fit the rod that was ment for it..right?

:AA:

 

I should have made it clear. There is a difference in the Clutch slave's bore size

 

omg..once again..open your eyes and actually read my post..


here ill make it clear for YOU..

this meaning what you just said..***

:AA:

the diameter of the push rod must match the bore. you can mix-match but why? When you buy it new, it should come with a push-rod.

I love the sense of camraderie we have here!

 

hahahaha

fight...fight...fight..

OMG is a girlygirl expression.

 

I actually "borrowed" it for another forum member. I love it too.

 

i have access to a fc slave which is probably already in the mail now, so i hope its going to work. i'll post when i find out

 

well since my car is a 12a and this statement is correct, then i should be fine
