Clutch question?

[kenz]

I've just had a new clutch fitted but its still a bit notchy going into 1st and reverse and sometimes 3rd gear, can anyone tell me is it the master cylinder or slave or even both I need to replace next? Many Thanks in advance.

Is the fluid level OK? or maybe some air in it and needs bleeding.

The levels OK, I would have hoped the garage would have bled the fluid as a matter of course but I will try bleeding it anyway, Thanks

If the fluid is black then the seals are getting weak and a new master and slave will be required .

Hi, I've bled the system today and still the same problem (fluid was fine). I heard the next thing I can do is change the slave cylinder 1st because its cheaper than the master cylinder and if it is, problem solved. But the usual problem pops its head up when I go to the local parts shop (shop keeper has a large gasp) and says 3.0 V6 petrol not listed in my book, I then say is it not the same as the 4runner and he says its not necessary the same.

1. Can anyone tell the surf/4runner slave cylinder are the same?
2. Where can I go to get the part without all hassle online as most only stock diesel model parts.

Thanks for everyones help so far.

have you tried roughtrax or milners

Roughtrax and Milners seem to specialize in diesel models (P&P is expensive as well), I have found a good web site - japarts.co.uk from which I have ordered a slave cylinder, once fitted I hope it will cure my problem or next thing is to order a master cylinder from them.

Cheers Everyone.

The BRAKE components should be the same as the 4Runner of that year, No matter if its Diesel or Petrol
