• Q: How to service and repair the Clutch Slave Cylinder on 2006 Toyota Matrix?

  A: The Clutch Slave Cylinder service starts with fluid draining and separation of the clutch release cylinder from the flexible hose tube using Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 while collecting liquid into a container. The clutch release cylinder assembly can be accessed when the assembly's 3 bolts together with the clutch line bracket are detached. The next step entails disassembling the clutch release cylinder kit through boot removal and extraction of push rod along with piston and spring from the cylinder body maintaining utmost care for the inner cylinder wall. Clear all components from the bleeder plug by taking out its cap. Secure the release cylinder bleeder plug at 8.4 Nm (85 kgf-cm, 74 inch lbs.) torque. The clutch release cylinder kit installation begins by connecting the bleeder plug cap but requires installing a new spring after applying lithium soap base glycol grease on the components and fitting the piston with push rod and boot to the cylinder body while maintaining total caution to avoid damaging the inside. The installation of the clutch release cylinder assembly with clutch line bracket requires a torque of 11.8 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbs) applied to 2 bolts before attaching the flexible hose tube through a bolt at 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch-lbs). The clutch release cylinder should be joined to the flexible hose tube by using Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 under 15.2 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.) torque. Complete the procedure by adding brake fluid to the reservoir then bleeding the clutch system while examining for leakage at 8.4 Nm (85 kgf-cm, 74 inch lbs.).
