3101828 Compatible Clutch Master Cylinder

What does a clutch master cylinder do?

This clutch master cylinder serves as a critical component in the hydraulic clutch system of heavy commercial vehicles. It functions by converting the mechanical force applied to the clutch pedal into hydraulic pressure, which is then transmitted through the lines to the slave cylinder to facilitate gear shifts.

System compatibility and fitment

This specific unit is designed to be compatible with FTE systems and features a Ø28.57 mm port for precise hydraulic integration. It is intended as a complete, ready-to-install unit that includes the necessary housing and internal components to ensure seamless operation within the vehicle's clutch system.

Installation and maintenance

When performing maintenance, technicians should verify that the port size matches the existing line requirements and inspect the hydraulic lines for any obstructions. Proper installation ensures that the hydraulic pressure remains consistent, preventing slipping or difficulty in engaging gears.

Troubleshooting and replacement

Regular inspection of the clutch system can help identify early signs of pressure loss. Replacing the unit as a complete assembly ensures long-term reliability compared to using individual repair kits in high-duty environments.
