That's my point... its one whole unit. Its just called a concentric slave cylinder, no where in the FSM is referred as a throw out bearing. These incompetent mechanics just use the wrong verbiage.

OP, did you happen to see where the fluid was leaking at? That right there will tell you if its the master cylinder or the slave cylinder. Really the only places you can have a leak.... well I mean if somehow the lines were damaged but very unlikely

That's kinda bold to say the mechanics are incompetent. They could be geezers like me and just used to using the old language. Wrong verbiage does not necessarily imply incompetence. It is, however, a valid data point for later irritation.

EDIT: I was wrong, the mechanics botched the work.

Your second point is right on though.

Yes there was fluid underneath the transmission on the floor. The weird part is, it didn't give me any warning or notice. It's not like the clutch has been feeling weaker, especially with the different softer helper sprint it's great. The clutch literally just failed on me this morning, 0 pressure and fell to the floor. So if the dealer said it's the throw out bearing and that is what they ordered, do you think they're actually replacing the csc and just used the wrong term? Thanks for all the help and responses guys. I've never had a clutch fail on me before.

Yes, if they told you they ordered a throw out bearing... they are talking about the CSC. Do they have the transmission out already?

Don't get me wrong... there are some hard working honest mechanics out there. But it just seems like a lot of people get screwed over at the dealership. A clutch system on cars is a very simple design.... but a lot of people have no idea how it works.... So of course it seems they are taken advantage of. Hopefully that's not the case in this situation.... We'll wait to see there diagnosis.
