• Q: How to service and repair the Clutch Slave Cylinder on 2004 Toyota Matrix?

  A: You should start the Clutch Slave Cylinder service and repair process by draining the clutch fluid through Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 while keeping the fluid inside a container. The next step involves removing the clutch release cylinder assembly after removing 3 bolts together with the clutch line bracket. The service requires removal of the clutch release cylinder kit components which include segments of boot push rod piston and spring from the cylinder body with attention to maintaining the cylinder interior intact. Detach the cap from the bleeder plug. Proceed to torque the release cylinder bleeder plug at 8.4 Nm (85 kgf-cm, 74 inch lbs.). The first step is to reinstall the bleeder plug cap on the cylinder body before installing a fresh spring and lubricating the parts with lithium soap base glycol grease. Finally, use caution to reinsert the piston along with push rod and boot into the cylinder body. Move on to install the clutch release cylinder assembly with the clutch line bracket using two bolts at 11.8 Nm torque while using a 5.0 Nm torque for flexible hose tube attachment. Install the clutch release cylinder to the flexible hose tube by using Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 while tightening it to a torque of 15.2 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.). Brake fluid should be added to the reservoir tank before performing a clutch system bleed procedure while checking for fluid leaks with a torque set to 8.4 Nm (85 kgf-cm, 74 inch lbs.).
