Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Well Aaron (turbotalon1g) and myself carpooled it over to my car...no dice We bleed all the brakes (there was a little air in the brakes, nothing crazy) and then we did the clutch a lot...there was some very dirty fluid in the clutch and we used a lot of fluid to really flush the clutch but still no good.

If you try to build pressure at the clutch at all it drops to the floor and you can here what appears to be air leaking from the clutch master cylinder inside the cabin near the clutch pedal...Aaron heard it as well so maybe he can describe it better.

Regardless we both agreed that it is almost undoubtedly the master cylinder after how much bleeding we did and by the sound it was making. So tomorrow I am going to call magnus and see if they will replace mine under warranty, i would hope they would. Also I will call Danny at DB and see if he can maybe look at this sometime this week and hopefully AAA will tow my car there for free as I am a AAA member.

We will see how this all goes down.

Lomker you have PM.

EDIT:

Almost forgot since I am a little pissed the master cylinder is bad...

BIG THANKS to Aaron for the help, much appreciated buddy, beers for you from me on the cruise!

Another EDIT:

This wasn't too terrible of a job at all, sure it took us a few hours but we weren't going for speed. Thanks for the posts for the order and advice to the others too Much appreciated.
