I'm servicing the slave clutch cylinder in my S3 LWT. According to the workshop manual there should be a conical spring inside it, but there isn't. Does this matter? Thanks!

If it worked okay before it cannot be to much of an issue.

The springs have hardly any force what so ever. I’ve often wondered what they actually do. Might be an aid at low pressure when bleeding.

Thank you, both, for your replies. I have refitted the slave cylinder and won't worry about the absence of the spring.
