Default Where's the clutch slave on a 91 Diablo?

Again, pictures would be nice. (Adam around? )

I promise this will be the last question ... for today, anyways...I think.

It's located on the bellhousing of the transmission by the lever on the
side.

When you have someone look at it while you press the clutch in..see if the lever moves.

Hope this picture helps!

Just had mine replaced, when I did my engine rebuild. It is the same as on an early Alpha for a much cheaper price. Hate to think what Lamborghini would charge. If you need the year I will find out.

Summary of my problem: I was driving when suddenly I couldn't shift, I stalled the car in 1st. Since then, I have been unable to shift gears with the car running. The clutch feels firm and depresses fully, and springs up fine. The car starts with the shifter in neutral, and then I can't shift.
Briefly: my clutch is not disengaging.

I've checked the slave cylinder, and there is movement of the lever.

Question: could the slave still be the problem; could there still be air in the clutch hydraulic system? Or does movement of the slave cylinder rule both of these out?

I had the same problem in public and that was very embarrassing as the chicks where admiring the car at first but when they realized I was not able to shift gear they started to giggle

Anyway I changed both the master and slave cylinder as I had my doubts about them . Also did a small modification on the lever so that the clutch disengage without have to press all the way down. But all of that did not help at first cos whenever I press on the clutch the paddle will slowly return back to its normal position which means there is air in the system .
Is this happening with your car ?

I bled the system many times and after a while the same problem will happen again


To cut a long story short there was a small cut on the Slave hydraulic hose and that was causing all the problems

So changing the master and salve cylinder was not necessary I guess It was a very expensive troubleshooting lesson for me

I hope this info will help you
