1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse Clutch Damper Clutch Master and Sla

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

The clutch damper is just a device that helps remove any shock loading from the hydraulic system, I have never known of one to give this problem, but there is alway the first time. I would be more inclined to suspect that the new master is faulty, this dose happen, the hydraulic system is very basic, the master displaces fluid the moves the slave piston, if there is a leak in the slave it will be wet under the boot, if the master is by-passing internally, the piston will drop as fluid by pases the pressure seal with out any external leakage.

I don't think that there will be any, I have not done this myself, but just considering the system, I don't think that if anything you may a slightly different feel in the pedal, but the pressure and through should be the same.

Hi there,

Thank you for the great feedback, did you bypass the damper? What effect did it have on the feel of the clutch and did it help with your initial problem.
