Due to a little change in plans, I don’t need to cannibalize my blue Mazda for my planned 323 build. It doesn’t need much to be drivable again. It has developed one problem since it was last driven. The clutch peddle goes straight to the floor. It’s not one of those systems that integrates the slave cylinder with the throwout bearing, thank goodness. There’s no fluid loss from the reservoir so no leak. I know it’s the clutch master cylinder or the slave cylinder. Before I start turning wrenches on this thing, I wanted to contemplate how to proceed with trouble shooting.
Here’s my idea....
Disconnect the line from the clutch master cylinder and put in a threaded plug. If the clutch peddle goes to the floor, the master cylinder is bad. If the master cylinder is good, I’ll have a stiff peddle and the slave cylinder must be bad.
Is that reasonable? Should I take a different approach?
