Product Line Details

Centric Premium Clutch Slave Cylinders are part of Centric Parts’ clutch hydraulic program, which includes master and slave cylinders for a wide range of vehicles. The line is built around OE specification targets to help maintain proper clutch disengagement and hydraulic system performance.

What It Helps Address

• Hard or inconsistent clutch pedal feel
• Clutch drag caused by weak hydraulic release
• Fluid leakage at the slave cylinder
• Difficulty shifting in manual transmission operation
• Reduced clutch disengagement performance on Hyundai and Kia models

Installation Notes

Verify bore diameter, mounting style, and hydraulic connection details before installation. This unit uses a 2-hole mount and includes a rod, so confirm the existing setup matches part number 138.51009. Proper bleeding of the clutch hydraulic system is important after replacement to restore pedal feel and release action.
