Clutch slave cylinder went bad I was stock in the middle of the highway not able to shift into gears. Very costly repair forced me to replace clutch plus the cylinder.
I drive a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer oz rally and out of nowhere I lost all resistance in the clutch and was stranded with a blown slave cylinder. I did some research and it seems that this is a very common problem and I believe it should be recalled.
Failure of the slave cylinder 5 times in my car twice in 2005 twice in 2006 to 2007 and once presently this part is unbelievable how many time do I have to change this one part and spoke to a Mitsubishi rep and said this isn't the first time. 2002 mitsubitshi Lancer oz edition.
