Explain the difference between a clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder in a hydraulic clutch system.

What will be an ideal response?


The clutch master cylinder performs the following functions: moves fluid through the hydraulic line to the slave cylinder, compensates for temperature change and minimal fluid loss to maintain the correct fluid volume through the use of a bleed port and compensation port, and compensates for a worn clutch disc and pressure plate by displacing fluid through the reservoir bleed port, thereby eliminating the need for periodic adjustment.

The slave cylinder disengages the clutch by extending the slave cylinder pushrod and makes sure the clutch release bearing is contacting the pressure plate through the use of the slave cylinder preload spring
