Modern vehicles use concentric slave cylinders (CSCs) to control the clutch hydraulically from inside the bellhousing. The CSC acts as both the slave cylinder and the release bearing, which means any leak, seal failure or bearing collapse can quickly lead to a sinking pedal, gear selection problems and sudden clutch failure.
Because the CSC is buried inside the gearbox area, replacing it normally requires full gearbox removal. That is why workshops strongly recommend fitting a new CSC whenever a clutch kit is replaced, doing the full job once is far cheaper and safer than paying for the same labour twice.
For a detailed technical explanation of how CSCs fail and why they should be replaced with every clutch kit, read our in-depth guide:
Why Concentric Slave Cylinders Fail and Why You Should Replace Them With Every Clutch Kit
Protect your clutch investment – replace a worn or leaking CSC with a quality unit that supports smooth engagement, stable pedal feel and long-term reliability.
• Always confirm the vehicle uses a concentric slave cylinder and match the part number and pipe connection style before installation.
• Never reuse an old CSC when fitting a new clutch kit – the labour to replace it later is far more expensive than the part.
• Prime and bleed the hydraulic system correctly to remove air; a poorly bled CSC can cause a soft or sinking clutch pedal.
• Inspect the flywheel and rear main oil seal while the gearbox is out to prevent new components from being contaminated by oil or fluid.
• Check engine and gearbox mountings for wear – excessive movement can increase stress on the CSC, clutch kit and hydraulics.
