Redsky Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 So long story short I got my 350 on monday on wednesday someone scratched the front arch and today (sunday) My clutch went right to the floor with no pressure and a little puddle of liquid was under it. AA came and checked it out the guy said he thinks its the slave cylinder. Anyone had to deal with this before and got any advice or such? Currently stuck in 1st gear up a steep narrow private driveway. Not entirely sure how they plan to recover my car to be honest. Its the 313 HR if that makes any difference to the slave cylinder at all. Thanks in advance for any advice or anything sort of freaking out about it all. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Common issue, Gearbox out and new clutch and fly kit and uprated CSC etc required. Extreme is very popular. CMS carry them in stock for next day delivery. Alex. Quote
Redsky Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 So what sort of cost would I be looking at? Also do I really need a whole new clutch and flywheel? Does it damage them when the slave cylinder fails? Thanks for you help Quote
ZMANALEX Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Yes, the clutch will be contaminated with fluid and worn This is what you require: http://www.clarkmotorsport.net/parts/Clutch-Kit--Single-Plate-Organic/KNI25688-1A Talk to Ewen at CMS. Alex. Quote
Redsky Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 Alright thanks for the help, ill get onto fixing it once ive managed to get the car recovered. Quote
Redsky Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 I just noticed as well there are kits for deleting the CSC? Do you know anything about these and are they good or viable at all? Or should I stick to the original setup. Or should I wait and see what a mechanic possibly recommends? Quote
ZMANALEX Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Stick with what I have recommended and ignore your mechanic's advice and also no need for the CSC delete. Quote
G1en Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Just had that exact kit Alex recommended fitted today. Big improvement on stock setup as i am sure others will testify. Biting point is much lower now as i like it. The high biting point takes getting used to with the 350 and many dont like it. Throttle response is better and there is a weight saving. Only negative is noise but this is minimal and i cant hear anything over my exhaust anyway One thing the guys at cougarstore did point out is the tee piece line used to bleed the clutch, the bleed part is in the wrong place (higher/lower than it should be, not sure which way round is right) so we had to improvise and it took about 30mins If your zed has never had a clutch/fly replacement and tbe csc has gone theres a good chance it needs doing anyway. Mines done 65k and the old clutch didnt have long left when it was removed. Of course thats all relative to how its been driven but if you dont know assume the worst Quote
