Can a blown clutch slave be the result of a worn throwout bearing?
A couple of weeks ago, the throwout
bearing started squealing. I was trying to
drive it as little as possible until I could
save enough to get it repaired. A tire on the
car developed a slow leak, so I brought the
car in to have Walmart TLE look at it. When
the kid finished the repair, he says he got in,
started the car up, and pressed on the
clutch to back out.The clutch pedal popped
and went right to the floor. When he and the
shop manager investigated, they found a
pool of hydraulic fluid under the car. I'm
assuming it's from a blown out slave
cylinder. Should I persue Walmart for the
damage or is this something that was
related to the bad bearing?
Thanks!
