I haven't been following your whole master cyl. issue, but you were mentioning something about it being a shitty part or something because its plastic.

Again, i'm kinda remembering it. I'm guessing its a dealer only or crazy aftermarket high $$$ piece?

He no longer has the stock plastic master cylinder. First he tried the SSP, had issues with that, switched to the Magnus, and now is having issues with that one too. For whatever reason it seems like there are a lot of bleeding-related issues when using these aftermarket clutch master cylinders.


Dave - Since pressing the brakes is affecting the clutch I'm really thinking you may have a big air bubble somewhere in the system. Go grab a cheap 1L bottle of brake fluid from any store and rebleed the entire system (all 4 corners + clutch).

Here is a how-to for the brakes (X is the same): http://www.joe250.com/cars/evo8/brak...ebleeding.html
It's very important to make sure you keep the reservoir FULL the entire time, the brakes and clutch share the reservoir, but it's divided internally.
