• Q: How to service and repair the Clutch Slave Cylinder on 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder?

  A: Service or repair of the Clutch Slave Cylinder begins with removing the front engine under cover. Disengage the clutch line from the release cylinder by using Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 while placing a container under the fluid to collect it. Removing the two bolts from the release cylinder constitutes the next step. The boot with push rod should be extracted first before removing the boot from the push rod during disassembly. The piston with spring should come out of the cylinder by using compressed air while applying waste cloth protection to the piston to avoid fluid disruption and jumps. The first step for reassembly is to lubricate the piston with lithium soap base glycol grease before installing the piston and spring into the cylinder. After that, slide in the boot with push rod into the cylinder opening. Install the release cylinder by fastening its two bolts to 12 Nm torque and join the clutch line to the release cylinder through Tool: 09023-00100 until reaching 14 Nm torque with the tool (143 kgf-cm or 10 ft. lbs.) or 15 Nm without the tool (155 kgf-cm or 11 ft. lbs.) using a 30 cm (11.81 inch)-length torque wrench. Bleed the clutch system after filling the reservoir while performing inspections for leaks under vehicle support. Replace the front engine under cover as the final step.
