[urq] Clutch Slave Problem?

[Ed Kellock]

I've replaced a couple of slave cylinders on urq/cgt/4kq and they typically
are pretty well stuck in there.  The slave cylinder housing has a circle
cutout around it that the pin slips through so where the pin isn't,
corrosion and general guck can get in.  You might try to spray some WD40, PB
Blaster, etc. type stuff and periodically try to work the cylinder out.

Correct Steve, clutch is behaving as if pedal is depressed. The only
experience I have with slave removal is on 01E boxes, which have mounting
bolts instead of the pin, and there's a little edge on the flange, allowing
the cylinder to rest against clutch spring pressure before installing the
bolt. Does this one have a similar edge? 

I didn't detect any movement when trying to walk it out, but I'll try it
again today. The engine was not yet started when this occurred, but I did
fire it up shortly afterward.
