  Q: How to Service and Repair a Clutch Master Cylinder on Dodge Ram 1500?

  A:

  Before you begin, you should raise and prop up your car to service or repair the clutch master cylinder. Unfasten the slave cylinder from the clutch housing across the nut studs and take it out. Separate the clip that holds the hydraulic line in place on the lower dash panel flange and the clip connecting it to the upper panel stud. After the car is lowered, get rid of the clutch pedal interlock switch wires. Take out the clutch master cylinder rod pin and close the reservoir cap tightly so no fluid spills. After that, take the nuts out of the clutch master cylinder and the clutch cylinders linking it to the dash panel and pull out the reservoir and all connecting lines from the vehicle. Set up the cylinders and line in the engine compartment, making sure the clutch hydraulic line touches the dash panel and is at the rear of all engine wires and wiring. Lubricate the insides of the master cylinder push rod eye, add the clutch master cylinder to the dash panel and tighten the nuts down to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). Secure the clutch master cylinder push rod pin and then join up the wires from the clutch pedal position interlock switch. Clamp the hydraulic line using the plastic clips on each side of the large dash panel and the small dash panel stud. Lift the vehicle higher, attach the slave cylinder, check that the rod is inside the release lever and carefully tighten its mounting nuts to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.). When a new clutch linkage is fitted, tie the clutch hydraulic line to the clutch slave cylinder and never remove the connection. After that, go ahead and drive the vehicle again to verify the linkage is engaged correctly.
