SLAVE CYLINDER DIRECT REPLACEMENT

[Tycooninxo]

Attn: Manual Legend Owners

Those of you finding your manual Legend clutch pedal failing and stuck to the floor. I shale present to you an easy simple solution to get your vehicle back on the road.

Throughout the years I've been noticing a lot of people on ALOE have been a posting about not being able to find a "slave cylinder" for their legend. And many of you are worried you may never find one. Well.. that wait is over.

Brand new 1993 - 2001 Prelude Slave cylinders from RockAuto will bolt up and function just as well if not better then original used legend slave cylinders. It will install without a rebuild or any modifications. And I promise it will decimate all !

When installing it is best to replace both the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder at the same time. The reason why the legend slave cylinders fail is because the factory clutch line is rubber and gets corroded and leaks causing everything to fail.

It's best to purchase the new and improved, braided steel clutch line from Paragon-Performance and install it as well.

This line will keep you free from future leaks. Link below.

I hope this post helps anyone and everyone experiencing this issue.

I haven't experienced this yet but have been watching to see if anyone CONFIRMED this about the Prelude clutch slave cylinder working. I've made a note and have already started looking for these as BOTH my Legends are manuals. Thank you sir!

I can't remember off hand about that clutch line but it was developed I believe around 2012 with the help of I believe Abe (holyabish1). I have one in my sedan that we built back in 2013 and have had NO problems or issues with it! Probably one day I may need to get one of these lines for my nearly all stock coupe!

No problem man, glad I can help.

Anyone else experiencing this issue, All you need to do is bolt on a brand new prelude slave cylinder and you are good to go the bolt holes lineup the same installation is all the same and the clutch fork lines up perfectly with the prelude slave as well. Just like it would with a legend slave cylinder. There are tons of prelude slave cylinders available on rock auto so we should never have a problem finding one.

I also removed my dampener as well as it was useless and making the clutch pedal feel too spongy and non responsive. With the upgraded Paragon performance braided steel clutch line it bypasses the dampener and provides perfect clutch fluid flow from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder. They work in tandem together even better than before.

I can say with the prelude slave cylinder installed brand new master cylinder and dampener bypass with the new braided steel clutch line from Paragon performance I will never have another issue of leaking slave cylinder ever again and my shifts now feel chrisp and healthy at all times. Due to this new and improved 3 step upgrade.

Hmm....I have everything listed here installed years ago but did not delete the dampener. I hate the clutch pedal feel. Not smooth at all. I have the centric master cylinder, prelude slave and paragon. Guess it wouldn’t hurt to try. LoL

Hmm strange how some of the "old heads" have complained about the damper on their cars. I run the damper on BOTH of my Legends and have ZERO complaints. In fact I can pull off with minimal effort even with EEV and she is FAR, FAR, FAR from a stock Legend. I can only guess the SPEC Stage II Plus from back in the day was just as GOOD as the co-founder Dan said they were and that I would be pleased. Here it is YEARS later and I most certainly am. I'm not sure what clutch the prior owner installed on the coupe (EEV3) but again not a complaint in the world on clutch feel and or engagement with the damper installed.

Update: lmao.

So I tried bypassing it but the paragon line was hitting again the inner fender wall. No way I could screw it into the clutch master. SMH.

Try bolting the Paragon line to the slave cylinder and run it to the master cylinder mounting it on the back of the fire wall behind the engine. you can run it straight from the cylinder to cylinder and delete the whole dampener itself.

The thread on the clutch master tilt towards the driver fender. The paragon line has about two inches of straight pipe from the thread to the braid part If that makes any sense. I couldn’t see any way I could get it in without bending the pipe. My line is fed behind the engine. Got the garage queen a bit dirty. LoL

You should be able to screw the Paragon braided steel clutch line from the master cylinder itself directly to the prelude slave cylinder. This will remove the middle man AKA (the dampener) and its separate clutch line. Which you no longer need. With this done you will have much better clutch response and crisper shifts. Especially if you plan on running a stage 2 or higher clutch. When I installed my clutch line from Paragon, I ran it in a U-shape and mounted it to the firewall behind the engine so it can have good clutch fluid flow. Hope this help you!

Yea that’s what I thought too. Ok so my paragon line that is attached to the dampener has this adapter that is threaded to the line itself. Which end do you have going to the master? If you click on the op link you’ll see that short adapter. My apologies if I’m not making any sense.
