Question about the slave cylinder?

[luisinho93]

Looks like my car has a bad slave cylinder. Had it towed to the ford dealership. Service manager said he's going to have a tech look at the car to inspect for burn spots in the clutch and the clutch in general.

Will my extended warranty cover it? I've had the car for almost a year now.

Is the car modded?

 

[luisinho93]

0 mods. Car looks like it just came off the showroom. My catback exhaust is coming Monday though but they won't look at my car until next Friday :(

They should fix it under warranty!

 

[luisinho93]

Thanks for the reply. Service manager sounded like he was a d-bag. Hopefully on Friday he doesn't pull the bs of warranty can't cover that.

Your 3 year and 36k bumper to bumper warranty should cover it.

If he pulls that bs call Ford corporate, they'll light a fire under his arse...

The slave cylinder should fall under driveline warranty. Also, it's not a wear item, so they should have no reason to deny warranty on it.

Hey guys I'm running to a problem.

Just got off the phone with the service manager. They want to charge me $500 to pull the transmission out to look for any burnt spots on the clutch or anything in particular. He said if I have the clutch removed it's going to cost me $1500 + tax. He said the clutch doesn't fall under warranty and it's considered a wear item. But if it's the bearing or anything that's a failure from the car I won't have to pay anything

Any help?

ford just replaced my slave, master, and clutch under warranty. my clutch blew apart, something about rivets. sacramento is very close but maybe worth the tow

Hate to revive old threads but this seems to be the only one. I have a 2015 5.0 with 41,000 miles and it seems like my slave cylinder is starting to leak. My only worry is that I got the steeda clutch spring, that shouldn’t cause the slave to blow out right? I remember reading that removing the spring and running the car with out one would but the steeda spring was supposed to prevent the issue. Just checking before I go through the ass pain of swapping back to stock.

I had my clutch pedal stick to the floor once. I looked all over the trans for signs of a leak and couldn't find one. Ford couldn't find any evidence of a leak either. They replaced the master cyl first as its a much less invasive procedure and I haven't had any issues yet.

What makes you think you have a bas slave cyl? Are you seeing fluid around the bellhousing?

It's not hard to swap the spring. Takes me 2 min. No tools. Just make sure it's pushed all the way against the firewall. Either I am ra-tard strong or my pedal has too much travel.

Clear fluid around the trans and I felt the pedal stick once or twice
