Master & or Slave

[Kracka]

In my opinion its best to replace both as long as you're at it. The added pressure from the new cylinder may be enough to cause the "good" cylinder's seals to go bad. These cars are all old, it never hurts to freshen things up, especially when they are vital to your car moving :)

There is a Southbend DXD in that car. Another way to see if it's one of the cyls is to pump the clutch. If you can pump the clutch 3-4 times and then hold it down, and then shift/put the car in gear, then it is probably the slave cyl.

Do what JET said and have someone pump the clutch while you're under the car looking at the slave cyl. Make sure the rod is moving a good inch back and forth as they push.

I'll look I think its the slave, but when I pump it it does nothing still wont engage. pretty sure the master is making pressure. the master could almost empty the reservoir in three bleed pumps while I bled it.

scheides did you ever put in a new master??

Is the firewall all wet underneath the master (up in the footwell)?

I remember when my master went out, my footwell carpet is still stained from all the fluid that got everywhere.

Nope, no master nor slave replacement that I know of. The car always shifted really nicely when I had it. My 1G on the other hand, I swapped both out on that. It's not too hard, just see if you can pinpoint the problem with some of the advice given here.

Well I think I'll do both, just to be safe. Murphys law, if I only do one it will be the other. When I looked at it when my friend pushed the pedel it went out a little then drifted back in a little without moving the pedal .

hmm no fluid so maybe its ok. hmph ... the part is only $75.00 for the master & like 30 something for the slave

I just went through this with mine last week. Fluid in the footwell, black gunk in the reservoir. Wouldn't shift and would grind.

MAP is able to get good prices for you and they have a nice SS line kit also. Otherwise Checker was cheaper last week for Beck/Arnley.

I just flushed mine to hold it over until I get the parts. Mostly works. I only drive 4 miles a day so it wasn't too big a risk.

I work at checker and i can get both for you at a discount
