Clutch master cylinder went out again

Zenmaster · 03-22-2013, 07:14 PM

I was cruising on the highway, had cruise control on, and as soon as I press the clutch in, it feels wayyy soft and gets stuck at the bottom, so now it's at the dealership.

This is the third time the master cylinder has gone out and I've had to replace it, luckily it's under warranty.

Are there any other options, such as using an aftermarket clutch?

There are aftermarket cylinders I believe. Atleast for the slave. I'm not sure about the master cylinder but I imagine there must be.

Wilwood maybe?

Zspeed is still working on the Wilwood master for our cars. It has been a year since the new master was installed, and it is starting to feel inconsistent. Sometimes engagement kicks in real low, and other times it is real high. No bubbles in the system, though.

3rd time in two years? And I thought I was brutal on clutches and its components.
You are "the man".
