I'm posting this because I have now run into 3 Sport owners with Clutch problems that they thought
were the slave cylinder and it wasn't.
They have loaded the 'parts cannon' replacing the slave cylinder and gone through the
bleeding process with no success in getting the clutch to work.
The problem has never been the slave cylinder but the 'clutch pedal lever' under the dash that bends/tears and stops the plunger
from moving.
It's number 26 in the diagram below.
Often it can be bent back and welded up with additional metal to strengthen it up.
It wasn't designed properly from the factory to hold up for the many years these vehicles have been on the road.
I hope this helps someone in this situation and gets their clutch working again.
