Another clutch thread

[Fujiwara13]

Hey guys,

Just wanted a quick opinion on this. Driving home yesterday all the hydraulics for my clutch seemed to shit themselves and dumped loads of the fluid from the master cylinder. I've recently replaced the master cylinder, the slave cylinder, and had a new HD clutch fitted. Any ideas as to what's broken?

Things to note
- Pedal still rises once pushed in, but only the last inch or so (at the bottom) has any effect
- No sign of leakage on the engine-bay side of the master cylinder, but I'm fairly sure there's brake fluid on the pedal side, i.e. in the footwell.

Obviously I don't want to drive it, so I just want to know if there's anything I can quickly check/do before it's time to tow it somewhere.

Cheers

master has shit a seal by the sounds of it.

Cheers, that's what I was thinking but it's only been on the car ~ 2 weeks =\

[mitchy]

new or rebuilt?

[Fujiwara13]

Rebuilt I'm fairly sure, picked it up second hand. Is it worth getting it reconditioned again or just a new one do you reckon?

[fowens]

if its recond should still be under warranty.

[mitchy]

clutch masters are worth fcuk all, think mine cost ~$50 brand new?

[fowens]

depends what car its for.
one for my corona set me back $110 brand new with discount.
other model/month corona was around the $40 mark

[mitchy]

I know he has a 33, thus why I said mine was $50ish.

upgrade to a 33 gtr one while your at it

[MAZDABATOR]

buy seals and rebuild yourself for less than ten bucks if your a mr fix it

upgrade to a 33 gtr one while your at it

33 GTR is a vacuum assisted master, 33 GTST is not.

If its rebuilt id be keen to see if it has been sleeved. If it has run your finger over the closest hole to the firewall flange (in the bore). See if you have a sharp edge.
