Question Slave Cylinder pushrod bent??

Took my slave out to bleed it some and noticed that it was bent a little bit. What could cause it to bend?
thanks
Marcin

Are you sure its actually bent, not just hanging at an angle? It seems like it would be hard to bend it, being a pretty short and sturdy shaft. I don't know what would cause it to bend, other than the pressure plate diaphragm sticking and causing it to be very hard to lift the throwout bearing, but I dont' see how that could happen and not totally mess with your driving.

I bent a couple of them when i put my new clutch/tranny in.

If your clutch is workin fine it may just have bent from use, mine bent because the clutch fork wasnt engaged with the throwout bearing correctly and therefor couldnt pull it out, so bent the rod.

I would just hammer it straight put it back in and call it good. if your not having any problems this probebly wont cause any.
