Chrysler PT Cruiser Pre-Filled Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder

This is a pre-filled, pre-bled clutch hydraulic assembly for manual-transmission 2001-2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.4L, including the 2003-2008 2.4L turbo (GT). The master cylinder, line and slave cylinder come as one sealed unit already full of fluid. It crosses to 4668632AA, 4668632AC, 04668632AD and D101132.

Because the system comes sealed, there is no bleeding on the car. You mount the master at the firewall, route the line, install the slave and connect the pushrod to the pedal. This matters on the PT Cruiser because a Chrysler sealed assembly is hard to bleed once it has been opened, and a system that was opened and bled poorly is a common reason for a clutch that will not fully release.

Signs the clutch hydraulics are failing: the pedal sinks slowly to the floor or stays down, the pedal feels soft or spongy, the reservoir level keeps dropping, fluid is wet on the firewall or under the bellhousing, or it grinds going into gear because the clutch no longer releases all the way. If bleeding brings the pedal back for a day and then it goes soft again, a seal is leaking and the part needs replacing, not more bleeding.

Before install, lay the new assembly next to the old one and check the master mounting, pushrod end, slave mounting and overall line length. Do not pull the shipping plugs or depress the slave pushrod until it is installed. After install, pump the pedal a few times and confirm it returns fully and the clutch releases cleanly with the engine running.
