Volvo S40 Clutch Master Cylinder
The Volvo S40 Clutch Master Cylinder translates the force your left foot applies to the clutch pedal into hydraulic force, allowing the gearbox to disengage smoothly and with a low force. The piston in this small aluminum-bodied Clutch Master Cylinder moves along whenever the pedal is pushed, which forces brake-grade fluid through a small line toward the slave cylinder, which in turn forces the clutch to the rear of the flywheel, allowing the gears to be shifted without grinding. Since the mechanism is dependent on hydraulic pressure being sealed, even the slight leak or air bubble under the pedal can leave the pedal spongy, cause the clutch to adhere to the floor, or cause the driver to struggle to get each gear. Over the years Volvo has retained the same simple single-piston hydraulic design in the S40 series, which is based on reliability and the ability to fit in the tight engine bay; therefore, there are no radical changes in style that can be compared, just slight changes in seals and the shape of reservoirs, which have no impact on operation. Both braking and clutch circuits have a similar master-slave concept, but the circuit of the clutch is independent, so you will still be able to shift in a Volvo even in case of brake line failure. Periodic servicing of the Clutch Master Cylinder fluid level and the state of the seal assists the unit in having the right pedal feel and safeguarding the transmission. Having healthy hydraulics, drivers experience crisp and predictable gear changes on a daily basis in their Volvo.

Volvo S40 Clutch Master Cylinder Parts and Q&A
- Q: How to remove and refit the clutch master cylinder and associated components on Volvo S40?A:To take the battery out, you have to remove the battery and three bolts to get the battery box. Next, release the retaining clip, undo the plastic nut and remove the soundproofing panel, at the engine compartment bulkhead, if fitted. Connect up with the clutch position sensor at the engine compartment bulkhead if applicable. Pull out the locking pin and disconnect the clutch hydraulic fluid pressure pipe from the master cylinder, as it is ready to spill the fluid, be mindful of sealing the openings from contamination by plugging them. In the locking collar, press and carefully pull out the clutch hydraulic fluid supply pipe on the master cylinder, again prepare for the fluid, and make sure to take the end of the supply pipe higher than the reservoir. Remove the lower facia panel on the driver's side, and if they have a clutch pedal position sensor, remove it. For models that have a start inhibitor switch, disconnect the wiring plug, depress the locking tab and remove the switch from the pedal bracket. Depress the clips on the two sides of the lock and separate the pushrod of the master cylinder from the pedal. Undo the four nuts and push the pedal, bracket and master cylinder about 50mm backwards and (be aware that access to the upper nut is limited and some dexterity and patience may be required). Rotate the master cylinder anti-clockwise from the cabin to separate it from the pedal bracket using a special tool if one is available, or hammer and punch to separate the master cylinder. Maneuver the pedal and bracket from underneath the facia without further dismantling (they have to be renewed as an assembly if faulty). For refitting, reverse the removal operations, making sure that all fasteners are tight, and that the seal between the master cylinder and the bulkhead is renewing, bleed the clutch hydraulic system before refitting the engine compartment bulkhead soundproofing panel, checking the operation of the clutch before putting the lower facia panel back in place.
