  Q: How to Ensure Proper Functioning of the Clutch Master Cylinder in a Dodge Ram 2500?

  A:

  Raise and support the vehicle whenever you have to service or repair the clutch master cylinder. Take out the nuts holding the slave cylinder to the clutch housing and remove the piece. Release the plastic clips that are holding the hydraulic line to the dash panels. Decrease the vehicle frame slightly and separate the wires to the clutch disconnect interlock switch. Pull the retaining clip off the clutch master cylinder and take the push rod off the pedal pin. Next, verify that the bushing in the pushrod is not worn and fix or replace the lost fluid if the push rod does need to be replaced. Tighten the cap on the clutch master reservoir before pulling it out, then unscrew the master cylinder from the dash along with the screws that secure the clutch reservoir and pull everything off together from the dash panel. Before installing, fix the clutch fluid cap tightly, bring the reservoir, connected lines and cylinders into the engine compartment and then place the clutch hydraulic line against the dash panel. Fit the clutch master cylinder into the dash, tighten the holding nuts and apply a little grease to the bushing. Attach the push rod of the clutch master cylinder to the clutch pedal pin and use the holding clip to secure it and then wire the clutch pedal position switch on. Fit the clutch fluid reservoir to the dash panel, turn each reservoir screw to 5 Nm (40 inch lbs.), then secure the plastic clips that hold the hydraulic line to the dash. Put the vehicle up and attach the slave cylinder after checking that the cap at the cylinder's end is firmly placed inside the release lever. Tighten both attaching nuts to a torque of 23 Nm (200 inch lbs.). For a new clutch linkage, unite the clutch hydraulic line to the clutch slave cylinder, drive the vehicle low to the ground and repeat the actions several more times to ensure everything works properly.

  Q: How to Service and Repair a Clutch Master Cylinder on Dodge Ram 2500?

  A:

  Raise the vehicle and secure it on supports before taking away the shield meeting the clutch master cylinder hydraulic line. Next up, you should loosen and remove both nuts fixing the slave cylinder to the clutch housing, then you remove the slave cylinder too. Fasteners usually secure the hydraulic line to both the lower and upper dash panel, so remove them. Detach the vehicle from the ground and take away the connector for the clutch pedal interlock switch. Pull out the rod pin and, afterward, check that the lid is tight on the clutch fluid reservoir to stop spillage. Take out the nuts that hold the clutch master cylinder to the dash panel and remove the cylinders, reservoir and lines from your car. Make sure the cylinders and connecting line go into the engine bay, where the clutch hydraulic line is touching the dash and is behind all the engine's hoses and wires. Add a tiny amount of grease into the inside of the master cylinder push rod eye and fit and secure the clutch master cylinder to the dash panel, tightening the nuts to a torque of 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). Fasten the push rod pin and connect the clutch pedal position interlock switch to its place. Fit the plastic clips around the dash panel and then secure the hydraulic line. Lift the vehicle to install the slave cylinder and be sure the cylinder rod goes into the release lever, then tighten the nuts to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.). While setting in a new clutch linkage, secure the clutch hydraulic line into the clutch slave cylinder; once secured, the line should always stay so. At the end, lay the heat shield back over the hydraulic line and check the operation by operating the linkage a few times.
