Can anyone recomend a good dealership or shop in SE Michigan to replace my clutch? I did it twice my self, but slave cylinder has failed me both times, and have a small vibration. I just want someone who has some good expirence.

What kind of clutch did you put in? Some of the aftermarket clutches (pp really) are known to be too hard on the slave.

stock. I didnt bleed the slave properly.

The slave is self bleeding. It takes a few minutes of pumping before all the air is out.

elnorte

not true

It's worked for me during the 4 times after I've had either the transmission or motor out. It also worked when I changed the master cylinder. The stock slave doesn't have a bleeder. It takes a few minutes of pumping to get the air out.

You can do a vacuum pull to speed the process up but it's not a requirement.

Anyway Ron at bluecollar is a good guy. Good luck.

funny, I was going to post the same pdf file. I work at AAI driving stangs off the line since '05. I work directly with the repair dept. All the heavy repair guys, and engineers tell me it's not a self bleeding slave, and if I wanted my slave to function properly, I should have it vacuumed by either machine or hand pump. I was stubborn and screwed myself by not following their advice. I did email Ron at bluecollar, and intend on having him do my work. Thank you for your help and Rn's recomendation

There has been lots of self done clutch installs here with the "self bleeding" method working just fine.

The vacuum pump is faster and better IMO, but the self bleeder works just fine.

there is no self bleeder. lol
