Description

This is an Aftermarket Clutch slave cylinder for a Jaguar Mark 2, Type S and E-Type 3.8 up to engine number 7E4606. If your Jaguar E-Type is close to the serial number please double check the cylinder length which is 3 inches. The slave cylinder operates a rod which pushes the release bearing to operate the clutch on a manual transmission E-Types. Cylinders wear out over time or from lack of driving rust can build up in the cylinder and will damage the seals which causes them to lose the ability to provide pressure. This reduces the performance of the clutch and makes shifting difficult to operate. Replace your old cylinder with a fresh bore clutch slave cylinder. Cross Reference L4252-364.

What are the symptoms of a bad clutch slave cylinder?

Usually when you have a bad clutch slave cylinder you know it right away, because since it is a hydraulic part, once a seal inside the slave cylinder gets bad, it will start leaking fluid, at the same time, because the seal is not sealing properly, it will allow air inside the system, causing your clutch pedal to feel soft and spongy. When a clutch pedal feels that way, it is an indication of air in the system, and when this happens, it makes it hard to operate the clutch properly because it engages even with your foot almost all the way to the floor, at times you may not even be able to place your car in gear due to this problem. NOTE: A bad clutch master cylinder will have similar symptoms, make sure that you look closely at each one of these items to determine which one is the problem ( the one malfunctioning is the one leaking fluid ).
