External slave cylinders

What's up fellas

So I'm close to halfway through my ax15 swap and I had gotten 2 used clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder kits from the jy and followed "factory" procedures to bleed them....

But when I go to install everything in place the rod pops off when I press the peddle and falls into the bell housing

Is it easier to just buy a whole new pre-bled set or

Is there anyway to prevent this....?

There is an extension to the rod that  you need to move from your old to the new......IIRC.

I tried that but the washer on the older one doesn't fit into the new one....

So I redrilled the hole to fit my pedal assembly it's a 1/2 size drill bit

When I mentioned the rod...I meant the rod of the Slave cylinder that goes into the bell housing

When I mentioned the rod...I meant the rod of the Slave cylinder that goes into the bell housing

I understand.

 

 

It is too short, that's why it falls off.

For an external Slave?

I used one from both a 4cyl and 6 cyl....

The rod is popping out before you get it installed all the way?  Most pre-bled setups (and individual slave cyls) have a zip tie/plastic piece that holds the rod back to prevent the rod from shooting out so you can install it and prevent the rod from doing what yours is.

Well the 2 that I have are used from a jy till I can afford a new set up...the zip tie was already popped when installed...

It would be installed correctly until I check for peddle pressure after a few pumps it would pop out of the cylinder and drop all of the clutch fluid

In that case, then the rod not being long enough is correct.

Ok how do I figure which rod is the correct one?
