im posting this because when i looked for help nobody was able to help, so here it goes. to begin with im not sure if this is for an ignition switch, or the tumbler ignition piece, but i had to replace the ignition part as some a-hole had stolen my car and had used a screwdriver most likely to bust the ignition so you can now start it with anything.

on to the fix! i took it to a mechanic, he said it would be 330 to fix. 195 for the part, and labor was the rest. i said screw that, and went to a Honda aftermarket parts dealer in portland, or (autoadventure), and bought one for $165. the guys there are awesome by the way. so from there i was going to take it back to the mechanic for straight labor, but the guys said i could do it. so i did.

its easy, all you need is a screwdriver, a hammer, and a flat head screw driver. you need the screw driver to take off the plastic covering surrounding the ignition, its the piece between the steering wheel and the dash. theres some recessed screws you want to be sure to get or you will break the thing. i think there is a total of 6 or so you need to get. then there are plastic tabs you need to gently undo to get it apart (like those small plastic Easter eggs kinda). from there you can see the ignition assembly in plain sight. from there you notice that there are only 2 screws holding the thing to the steering column.

i was confused at first because it looks like there are 2 rivets holding it in place, but in fact they are screws whose heads have been shaved off in factory. all you need to do is take your hammer and flat head screwdriver, and wedge the screwdriver head in between the lip of the piece and the screw, and bang it towards the counterclockwise direction. this takes some time, and if at first you are scared, don't be. you don't care about that part anyways. you should have already gotten the replacement ignition (tumbler, key hole, and electronics in one solid piece) so you don't need that anyways. after you bang on it for a while, they should give a little bit, so you can basically unscrew them with your fingers. from there it is a quick switch. unplug the electronics from the unit, and plug in the new one, bolt it on and replace the covering and you are golden, and are $200 ahead of the neck punk mechanic who tries to rip you off. hope this helps!

You may not even need to get the complete tumbler and key hole part. Your only problem may be just the ignition wire that connects to the back of the tumbler and is relatively easy to replace. This part may go for about 80$ . I would recommend that you try to replace this part first because it may save you from the trouble of replacing the whole ignition unit which costs about $250(this is if your car starts but does not stay turned on or if your car's power turns off when you are driving). I went through the trouble of taking the whole ignition unit off but just found that it was the ignition wire on my 90 Honda Accord. And if your actual key insertion cylinder is damaged, where you put your key in and turn the car on, then I found that most auto-parts stores Like Kragans or AutoZone have replacement key cylinders with a new set of keys for about $30. Don't replace the tumbler body if you don't have to because again, they are about $250. The Key cylinder should slip out of the body by pushing a little button down that is on the side while the key is turned at the I position. That's all I got for now

Replacing the slave is not as hard as getting it bled, and back into working order. You will need to go to your favorite auto parts store and get a book on how to do it. If not, a library has books on how to do this.

NOT A J0B FOR THE INEXPERIENCED UNLESS you have a lift and jacks to remove the trans. Get a manual on it if you want to do it though.

How do you adjust a hydraulic clutch on a 1989 jeep--- what i mean is you have to push the clutch all the way to the floor to change gears. is there air in the line is there a way to bleed the line?

hydraulic clutch does not have adjustment. replace the clutch it has a slave cylinder underneath and what you do is pump up the clutch and then hold it and have somone turn the line going itno th slave cylinder until you have clear fluid that is not how you bleed a clutch to the jeep owner, if you know how to bleed brakes on a vehicle, then you know how to bleed the clutch on a vehicle both done the same way.now if no parts of the clutch, such as master or slave cylander have been touched or let run out of fluid, there is still no need to bleed as that will not be the problem you might look at the linkage on the slave cylander. sometimes there is nylon bushing on the cylander rod that wears out. replace this bushing which is easy to do and your clutch will be good again.


Your car starts but won't shift gears when running Also when ist not started you have all gears but when you push the clutch in to start it it learches forward What could be wrong?

Most likely the clutch master cylinder and/or slave cylinder has went out. It's a good rule of thumb to replace both at the same time to save frustration later on. A hydraulic clutch system works on the same principle as your brake system. Its very important that after replacing the slave and master cylinder that you properly bleed all air from the hydraulic lines to ensure proper clutch pressure.


What does the slave cylinder do?

The slave cylinder is a plunger that releases the pressure on the clutch. When you step on the clutch pedal, fluid is forced into the slave which pushes out a rod that pushes against the fork that then pusher against the pressure plate that is between the motor and the transmission.


When you take your foot off the clutch when in 1st gear or reverse your '92 Escort will not move what is wrong?

If it does this in all gears, I bet your clutch is shot. Other things that could cause problems are the Clutch master cylinder or clutch slave cylinder.

When replacing clutch do you also change the slave cylinder?

The slave cylinder is usually replaced during a clutch replacement. The slave unit is fairly inexpensive but the labor can be costly since most vehicles require the transmission to be removed to replace the slave. Since the transmission has to be removed to replace the clutch anyway, there is no extra labor involved to replace the slave.
