Installing
Installation is carried out in the reverse order, when doing this note the
following:
Note: - To disconnect line, first pry out retaining clip -A- with a screwdriver until
it disengages audibly. Line can then be pulled out.
Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the transmission. If
necessary, clean the transmission housing. If the clutch slave cylinder is inserted off-line there is a danger that the
push rod will be guided past the clutch release lever. To facilitate installation, engage 6th gear (6-speed transmission) or
4th gear (5-speed transmission) before fitting the slave cylinder. Pre-tension the clutch slave cylinder far enough for the securing bolt
to be easily inserted. Always replace securing bolt.
