I drive a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon and I just replaced my clutch. But I'm having a little difficulty in shifting the car in and out of gears mostly reverse. The mechanic said that I should replace a clutch cylinder. Should it be the clutch master cylinder or the clutch slave cylinder. I don't what the difference is and how much would it cost to replace the item and have a mechanic install it?What is the difference between a CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER and a CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER?Clutch master cylinder in on the firewall, attached to the pedal. The slave is at the other end, either outside of the bellhousing pushing on the clutch lever or inside the bellhousing as part of the throughout bearing. Is the fluid low? Does it need bled? IS the eyelet on the pedal that goes to the clutch master cylinder worn? Is the pedal either low and goes to the floor easy or is it hard and feels like it is binding?What is the difference between a CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER and a CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER?well i would replace the slace cylinder,not the clucth cylinder,becuz if ur havin a hard time shifting,it would result in a slave cylinder,i couldnt tell u how much one would cost,becuz i dont know the size motor in it.What is the difference between a CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER and a CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER?you may just need to have your clutch linkage adjustedWhat is the difference between a CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER and a CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER?If the mechanic didn't tell you which it means he didn't look so he cant know it needs replacing.
I suggest having him bleed the system first, any competent machanic should have done this already.What is the difference between a CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER and a CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER?When you push on the pedal, you're pushing the clutch master cylinder. The hydraulic oil from the master cylinder makes the slave cylinder move, which pushes the throwout bearing, disengaging the clutch.What is the difference between a CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER and a CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER?it is not that expensive, Master cylinder i think is the one you need.What is the difference between a CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER and a CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER?As has been said, the master is nearest or connected to the pedal and operates the slave,which is nearest to the gearbox,get a friend to operate the clutch pedal while you watch one cylinder at a time, one of them needs either replacing or just re kitting, you will easily tell which, the faulty one will be as it will almost certainly be oily and dirty,and will not travel to it`s full extent.
Hope this is helpful, good luck.
