We come to you for slave cylinder repair
Your slave cylinder sends brake fluid to your clutch components whenever they need it.
Working by converting hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder into mechanical force, your clutch slave cylinder pushes the clutch release mechanism and allows you to change gears safely.
If your clutch pedal drops to the floor, the clutch slave cylinder could be leaking or failing. Once your slave cylinder loses fluid or pressure, your clutch pedal won’t work properly.
Lube Mobile can replace the slave cylinder at your location, put in new fluid, adjust and bleed your clutch's hydraulic system and get it back to normal.

How much does clutch repair cost?
We always strive to give you a fixed price up front and let you be in control of costs.
While a total clutch replacement can cost from $500 to $1,200, it largely depends on the make and model of your car. For 4WDs, performance cars and more exotic vehicles, the cost of a clutch alone can reach $2,000. With any clutch replacement the largest cost is labour, as it will take time to disassemble and replace all the clutch components. As most clutches are reasonably sturdy, you should only need to replace it every 200,000 kilometres, or roughly once over the lifetime of most cars. If you have recently purchased a car that is nearing this limit, it's a good idea to book a mobile clutch service to ensure that everything is working safely.
Once we've arrived at your location and inspected your vehicle and your entire clutch system, we will provide you with an itemised quote of the work required including the cost of any new parts. Because the work is done at your location, you can ask questions. This keeps you in control of costs and helps you decide if repairing or replacing the clutch is the most cost-effective solution for the long-term life of your car.

What are the symptoms of a faulty clutch slave cylinder?
Common signs of a failing clutch slave cylinder include:
- Difficulty changing gears
- A soft or spongy clutch pedal
- Clutch pedal sticking to the floor
- Clutch fluid leaks underneath the vehicle
- Low clutch fluid levels
- Grinding noises when shifting gears
- Vehicle creeping forward when the clutch is pressed
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to have the clutch system inspected promptly to prevent further damage.
What causes a clutch slave cylinder to fail?
Clutch slave cylinders can fail due to:
- General wear and tear
- Internal seal deterioration
- Hydraulic fluid contamination
- Corrosion inside the cylinder
- Damage caused by old or dirty clutch fluid
- Excessive heat and age-related component wear
Regular maintenance and fluid checks can help extend the life of the clutch hydraulic system.
What is a clutch slave cylinder and what does it do?
What is your clutch master cylinder and what does it do?
The clutch master cylinder is a key component of your vehicle's hydraulic clutch system. Its job is to convert the pressure you apply to the clutch pedal into hydraulic pressure, allowing you to smoothly change gears.
When you press the clutch pedal, the master cylinder pushes hydraulic fluid through a line to the clutch slave cylinder. The slave cylinder then disengages the clutch, separating the engine from the transmission so you can shift gears. When you release the pedal, the clutch re-engages and power is transferred back to the wheels.
Why Is the Clutch Master Cylinder Important?
Without a properly functioning clutch master cylinder, the clutch may not fully disengage, making it harder to select gears and increasing wear on the transmission and clutch components. In severe cases, the vehicle may become difficult or unsafe to drive.
Need a Clutch Inspection?
If you're experiencing clutch problems, the mobile mechanics at Lube Mobile can inspect your clutch system, diagnose issues with the master cylinder or slave cylinder, and recommend the most cost-effective repair solution at your home or workplace.
Key takeaway: The clutch master cylinder is responsible for creating the hydraulic pressure needed to disengage your clutch, allowing smooth and reliable gear changes. If you notice a soft clutch pedal, fluid leaks, or trouble shifting gears, it's important to have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible.
