slave cylinder

[MUDWHISTLE]

anybody ever run into this? It seems that my slave cylinder really wants to creep out after my foot is off the clutch and is causing enough pressure to keep the throwout bearing spinning on the pressure plate. prevously I had a helper spring making sure it was drawn back to keep the throwout bearing engaged. any ideas on what could be going on or is this an unusual problem that nobody has ran into? btw I can hear it while I'm driving. Hope someone can help cause I really don't want to put another throwout bearing in. thanks Lee

Does your slave cylinder have the heat shield sock on it? If not, it could getting hot causing a bit of expansion in the fluid (???). Just a thought anyway. Also, make sure that the master rod is not slightly too long (or that the pedal lever is not correctly indexed). This can cause the system to not allow fluid back into the reservoir. Cheers!
