Travel spec for hydraulic slave cylinder

[djife1]

Does anybody know what the amount of travel is on the clutch pedal - slave cylinder. I'm tring to figure out of i need to replace it. My clutch does not disengage when I put the clutch pedal down. I checked the Chrysler repair manual and could not find the info.
Thanks in advance,

If the clutch is not disengaging there is obviously something wrong. Are you losing fluid? A leak somewhere? thats usually a sign of a bad cylinder. If not then the master could be bypassing internally.
I have a friend who has a weak spring or something. The clutch works fine but is just a very soft pedal. Check your return springs on the pedals it could be broken or something caught in it.

Ali, It's Not losing any fluid the clutch fork is moving. I just need to see if the slave cylinder is moving the fork far enough. I'm trying to avoid taking the hole tranny out of the car.

Thanks

There is a superceeded number on these Hydr units !! They are failing all over the place.

What Chrysler seems to be doing on all these parts, (like the weak P.O.S. cam belt tensioner), is they are re-designing the parts and "slipping them into the system", (like a silent TSB), that way, they don't have to suffer the bad press. .... When someone comes in with a cam belt or clutch problem, ... they just switch to the newly designed part and the customer never knows about it.

The problem with DJIFE's situation is, ... the dealer would automaticly say it is the aftermarket clutch and refuse to warranty it, .... when in reality, ... these slave cylinder assemblies are dying all over the country on perfectly stock PTs.

The superceeded part number is 4668632AD ... $100 list price.

At least they are working to fix some of the "RUSH TO MARKET" problems for us!

... can you believe I gave them some credit ? ! !

Thanks Bob for the part number as usual you right on top of stuff. I'm not sure if the slave cylinder is the problem but i'll try it first before dropping the tranny. I'll let you know how it goes.

So Bob. thats the new part number if someone needed it replaced?
Where did you get the price from??

The superceeded part number is 4668632AD ... $100 list price.

The number and price came from the dealer. I was looking for a TSB on it, ... but did not find one. My dealer had replaced one and a fellow in SC had his done under warranty and noticed the "dash-pot" or cushion device that is in the line going to the slave cylinder, was not on there any more. When he asked about it, ... he was told it was removed as per the new clutch cylinder instructions.

BUT Chrysler is NOT telling us what is wrong, ... they are being very, ..... "SS" ... about it!
