    It's a hydraulic damper according to this thread. There to restrict the speed at which the slave cylinder allows the release bearing to disengage, presumably for smoother changes?

    If you've got anyone helping bleed systems (like my Andrea) make sure they are pumping the right pedal.....

    Hi,
    Agree with all the comments above.

    Had one, fitted it (cause I wasn't sure what it was).

    It'll make you think you have a slipping clutch... It did me... took it out and all good, so "chuck it away" is a good shout :-)
