Slave Cylinder Leaking after replacement

[m1jenkins]

Bought the OEM Ford slave cylinder at a dealer. Paid the shop to install it + new clutch.

They called me this morning saying the slave is leaking like crazy. Is this normal Ford quality control? Or did they do something wrong.

they are known to fail just about immediately if they are bled wrong.....could be that, they also could've missed a seal or something as well.

I got $$$$ on it the Slave Cyl line is missing its Rubber seal that is on the end. Its most likely LOST into the Shop floor abyss or stuck inside the old Slave in the Trash.

They most likely screwed the pooch* Hopefully the clutch Friction disc isn't contaminated!

You saved me, thank you. I went into the old slave cyl, and pulled that rubber seal out, and now I'm one step closer to be done with this diff install.
