On this Saab, It has a telescoping slave cyl. It is squeaking. Is there a type oil or grease that is ok to spray on hydraulics? I have sprayed brake fluid on the out side and it quiets. after a while it starts squeaking again. SC
Brake fuid = bad for paint and rubber belows on telescoping arm.
X3 on what Zen said.
Also on my mom's S-10 I took off the slave cyl and used a socket extension and screw jack to push the clutch past where the slave had been wanting to go.
I have to do this about once every 3-4 yrs in that the grime builds up to a point that the Slave cylinder has a hard time over coming the resistance.
Once the clutch is engaged back past the memory of the sludge, it gives the slave cylinder an easier time of it.
If I do not do this she will blow the slave cyl.
I do not know why it has to be done, I just know it works and slave cyl are expensive.
