If one has failed, the other is sure to follow. First thing to do is check for leaks, but just because you don't have a leak doesn't mean all is well. A seal may have failed internally. The only way to know for sure is either have specialized test equipment, or start replacing parts (cheapest solution). First: locate the slave cylinder and make sure it (or any its components) didn't become disconnected for any reason. As I understand it: the clutch uses the reservoir as the brakes; if the the brake reservoir went dry, you may have gotten air in the clutch system ( then they would only need to be bled). If you have to replace any of the components be sure to replace ALL the fluid (old fluid will contaminate the new fluid) in the brakes and clutch with quality fluid like Castrol LMA/SRF or ATE Gold/Super blue. james Wayne at Pelican Parts wrote: > Sure, let me forward you to James in Technical Support, and he can help you > out. > > Thanks, > > Wayne > > -----Original Message----- > From: hankc@t-one.net [mailto:hankc@t-one.net] > Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 1999 6:59 PM > To: pelicanparts@csi.com > Subject: 944 clutch > > I have a 1983 944 (nonturbo).
