Dodge Dakota 3.7L Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder CC649048

This is a pre-filled clutch hydraulic assembly for manual-transmission 2004-2009 Dodge Dakota 3.7L and 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider 3.7L trucks. The master cylinder, line and slave cylinder come connected and full of fluid. It crosses to CC649048, 5134623AE and PF9092.

The Dakota uses a sealed hydraulic system from the factory, and it was never meant to be opened and bled on the truck. When one part of it starts leaking, the practical repair is the whole assembly, which is what this is. The included pushrod and bushings let you connect the master to the clutch pedal without reusing worn pieces.

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.

Compare the new assembly against the old one before install: master mounting flange, pushrod end, slave mounting and line routing. Keep the shipping plugs in and do not push the slave rod in by hand until it is installed. After install, pump the pedal, check that it returns all the way, and confirm the clutch releases cleanly with the engine running before driving.
