Hydraulic's for clutch on a Monster
 

Since I bought the car...IDK if slave is inside bellhousing or not. All I know right now is I lost the clutch. Will check it out in AM. Damn I know Ford put in inside on my 02 Ranger, not one of their better ideas. Oh well drink some cold ones and worry about it tomorrow. EH it's not like it's my only Miata. David

Old Fart gets lucky
 

Yep I got lucky...Slave is on outside of bellhousing, looks to be stock Miata part. The Miata gods smiled on me today.

yea.. the slave is easy on the miata. i also have a 02 Ranger that needs a clutch badly. but i have no desire to do it, its 4wd so its an extra PIA.

Red, A 90 5.0 mustang had a cable, so I had no idea what type of slave was on car. Trust me it ain't as easy as a Miata, but it is the same part. I've got a few old ones around, but I had never rebuilt them. So got new ( or ) rebuilt coming from NAPA, along with WP for GFs truck. Back to Miata, it looks as this will be a hugh PITA to bleed...headers, O2sensors, and just no room down there. Price you pay for a V8.

you can buy a slave cylinder for $25 at autozone and I can only imagine it will be cheaper at NAPA. not worth a rebuild imho.

But yea, no silly ---- like putting the slave inside the transmission. Its pretty easy and if you are doing it, let me suggest you get the 949racing clutch line which skips over the coiled section.

Track the slave is on drivers side...NAPA is 27$, and it has a braided line just no curlyQ.

driver's side? you aren't talking about miata. Mine and every 94+ miata has it on the passenger side. Since I am compatible with a 1.6 clutch...you must be still talking about a ranger right?

I don't know why, but I figured NAPA would be cheaper than autozone... bastards!

Track its a 91 Monster Miata...5.O HO V8. Straight out of a 90 Mustang GT. I load a pic of bellhousing as soon as I can.

ohhhhhhhh >< Doh!! Now I get it. No worries, glad that ---- wasn't inside the bell housing. I get the feeling that American cars tend to like putting it in there. Chrysler/Jeep have a nasty habit of that in their 80s cars.

This damn pic maybe upside down
 

Attachment 1327 well side ways

I'll try and load more pics later, not today.

More pics
 

I know they are crappy cell phone pics.

from what I can see, it looks nice! We need to get you a camera.

Well, I got a nice one...Problem is when I download a pic. They are too big, and I'm too old and computer stupid to figure it out. I am working on it. I think my turbo car is faster.

I'll try a big pic

Do you have a photobucket? if its not too much trouble, I would upload make a photobucket/flickr/whatever account. then upload pics to that. It will automatically resize them. and you can just copy the image links here for ease.

I just got thru replacing the slave but...I had lil to no freeplay at clutch arm. There was an adjustable rod in slave but , even all the way in lil to no slack. I'll look at it some more, only thing I see is I can space the mount back with a washer. I do not need the TB constantly turning. I can tell you it's a hell of alot harder than a stock Miata to replace. :bang:

I'm told there should be some preload on it and no slack. This is a good thing 'cause there ain't any. It does disengage and engage just fine.
