I have a 87' 4Runner with a 22-re and was an automatic from factory but was converted to a 5 speed, the problem is i was going down the road yesterday and all of the sudden i couldnt get the truck in gear, and the clutch pedal had no tension , i got to a friends house and checked the clutch fluid and it was empty, i filled it and pumped the clutch and it works fine now... i looked at the slave and clutch master cylinder and no leaks, also checked the lines... any suggestions ?

you've got to have a leak somewhere... clutch fluid doesn't just run out...

Thats what i figured... but the slave and master cylinder are dry... i am guessing that when i bought the truck it was low, or possibly had air in it, alot of air... ive only had the truck 4 weeks now... should i try to bleed the hell out of it and if that doesnt work just replace the slave ?

That sounds like a good idea. Bleed them, make sure every connection is tight and dry, and if you still losing fluid, it's more than likey the slave; for some reason they tend to go first. If you've got the extra cash on you though, replace the master with it, cuz it's probably not far behind.

Check inside the cab at the firewall. Mine is leaking there, it drips and is absorbed into the carpet. Just found that on mine last week. Anyone know if it can be rebuilt or a just a seal replaced? I can probably get my hands on a used clutch m/c if needed.

x2. Mine leaked inside on to the carpet too. Don't know if you can get a rebuild kit or not. I just bought new from Toyota.

Installed a new clutch master cylinder and everything is fine, it took me awhile to bleed the system, but it works great now...

I currently have the same issue. Master leaking on interior of firewall.

For the record, Partsamerica.com sells rebuild kits for both the master and the slave.

I think i will just buy them off of MC. OEM toyota.

I had and 81 pickup.. leaked in the cab, put a new kit in worked great.

Recently in my 004runner master went, no leaking but jut no pedal. Replaced the slave first then the master.. I was told to check under the boot of the slave, sometimes the fluid just accumulates there.

I agree.. bleed it first.

scuba

well if you happen to get a new master and slave, make sure you bench bleed first

^^^^ Whut he said. Buy a new one and don't bother with a used unless you plan on rebuilding it yourself.
