Just changed my clutch slave and master cylinder
My Camry has 122K miles, in one occasion the clutch got stuck half way thus I suspected that the hydraulic was failing.
Got my hands dirty last weekend and changed the slave and master cylinders. The slave was a cinch and the master was a bit longer. Removing that clip that holds the pin attached to the clevis was challenging (I thought it was a cotter pin).
Then I started to bleed the system and it just kept on releasing air. After three days of thinking I decided to exchange the master cylinder, called the store so that they could order a replacement. The next day I decided to remove the master cylinder so I could return it to the store. After removing the part, I decided to do a last check and placed it next to the original part. I found a difference, the length of the push rod assembly was shorter on the new part so I adjusted it to match the old part and decided to install it back. Lo and behold it did the trick. Bleeding was a cinch and the air bubbles were completely gone.
Now the clutch works and it feels completely different.
