Land Rover Part Number: FTC5072 - Clutch Slave Cylinder - R380
FTC5072 is a clutch slave cylinder fitted to R380 five-speed manual gearboxes. It operates within the clutch hydraulic system to actuate the clutch release mechanism, converting hydraulic pressure from the clutch master cylinder into the axial motion that disengages the clutch. The assembly interfaces with the gearbox release mechanism and is essential for consistent pedal feel and reliable gear changes. Service checks should include inspecting for hydraulic leaks, seals and bleed ports, and replacing worn cylinders to prevent loss of hydraulic pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
The FTC5072 slave cylinder converts hydraulic pressure from the clutch master cylinder into linear piston movement that operates the gearbox release mechanism on R380 five-speed manual transmissions. Common failure modes include external fluid leaks, degraded seals or air ingress causing a spongy pedal and incomplete clutch disengagement. Regular inspection for leaks and prompt replacement of a leaking or sticking cylinder helps maintain reliable gear changes.

Replace the slave cylinder if there are visible hydraulic leaks, a spongy or sinking clutch pedal, or if it fails to move freely during clutch operation. It is also good practice to inspect and, if necessary, replace the cylinder during a clutch overhaul to avoid loss of hydraulic pressure.
