Default Re: Slave Cylinder Replacement/Repair

There are only two types of clutch hoses for a ZR-1. The 90’ version and the 91-95 version. You want the steel braided later version.

- And given that the part is well over $100 (and the slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder were together about $60), is this something I need? Can I use the old one?

You could but it’s a 23yr old car! Replace it while your in there.

- Can I make the repair without jacking the rear?

Yes, just get the front high enough. About 20 inches should do it.

- Probably more questions as I proceed (which will likely have to wait for March given that my garage is not heated)

Thanks.
