What the hell is it?
Discussion
2002 Saab 95 2.2Tid
There is a metal box thing sitting between the clutch and clutch master cylinder, its about an inch think, and circular, about the size of the bottom of a cup. (I should have taken a picture!)
I'm trying to see if I can bypass it to find out if it's buggered, as I've just replaced the clutch master cylinder and that wasn't the problem. (Grr!)
If nyone can tell me what it is that'd be great.
Just rang a dealership, who could tell me that it costs 90+VAT, but even they didn't know what it was and the workshop are on lunch
TIA

Thanks for the replies,
I now know tht it comes as part of the clutch cable, and is indeed a damper.
I'mtrying to determine if it was up the creek if it would give these symptoms:
Clutch very loose, with next to no resistance, and in fact has to be out of gear when starting since the clutch is engaged even when the pedal is down completely – at least until you pump the clutch pedal, anyway.
When it’s playing up,
- it’s nigh on impossible to get it in or out of gear,
- The clutch pedal is incredibly loose – almost no resistance at all
- The clutch pedal does not return on it’s own
- Am not losing fluid from the reservoir
The odd thing (to me anyway) is that though no fluid is lost, bleeding the system seems to rectify it – at least for a day, before the issue starts occurring again.
I just want to be sure, before I go through the rigmarole of changing the slave cylinder (already changed master) which is a bit of a bugger, to put it mildly!

Looking at epc, looks like some sort of clutch damper, yes, you can bypass it, at least for diagnostic purposes!
Bear in mind the clutch can be a bugger to bleed, recommend pressure bleeding them, ezi bleed or similar.
btw cheers for that, and you were not wrong about bleding it!Bear in mind the clutch can be a bugger to bleed, recommend pressure bleeding them, ezi bleed or similar.
