ISSUE:
The clutch may be hard to depress and/or the clutch slave cylinder may wear out prematurely on some vehicles. This may be due to the clutch slave cylinder allowing hydraulic fluid to leak by the internal seal.

ACTION:
Replace the clutch slave cylinder. The revised slave cylinder has a new dust shield and upgraded lip seal to help prevent leakage of hydraulic fluid in the slave cylinder. Refer to the appropriate model/year Service Manual, Section 08-00 for clutch system diagnostics, and Section 08-02 for removal and installation details.
