This part basically takes the fluid pressure from your master cylinder – when you press the clutch pedal – and uses that pressure to push on the throwout bearing. That bearing then disengages the engine from the transmission, allowing you to shift gears. It’s all hydraulic, so fluid moves this cylinder internally to extend a piston. That piston is what pushes on the throwout bearing. It’s a key part of your clutch system, directly responsible for actually separating the engine and transmission so you can change gears. It’s positioned right inside the transmission bellhousing, close to the clutch fork. Unlike older designs where the slave cylinder was outside the bellhousing and used a pushrod, this concentric style is inside and acts a bit like a direct extension of the clutch fork. It's a pretty integrated setup. If this thing goes bad, you’ll notice if it's leaking – you’ll likely see fluid under the car. But even if it’s not leaking, a failing cylinder can cause a soft clutch pedal, difficulty getting into gear, or even the inability to disengage the clutch completely. That’s obviously a big problem! It's a wear item, so it will eventually need replacing. You can find a replacement fairly easily – Fixparts Online has a good selection, or most parts stores will carry them. Ignoring a problem with the slave cylinder can lead to further damage to other clutch components, so it’s best to address it sooner rather than later. Buy risk-free: Concentric Slave Cylinder (MPN 34963) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
