Re: Clutch master cylinder

You keep blowing master cylinders? Have you flushed the line and replaced the slave cylinder? Sounds like you have a pressure issue that's wearing out the master cylinder. Whether that's caused by a faulty slave (not likely) or a problem in the tranny I don't know.

How is the clutch engagement when it's working? Tranny make any funny noises?

Re: Clutch master cylinder

Then you've got a problem downstairs by the release fork is what it seems like. How is your pedal pressure? Was it doing this before you installed the new clutch and FW?

Re: Clutch master cylinder

Sounds like something is fuxored on the release bearing side causing there to be too much pressure on the clutch system which is blowing your master cylinders. Might be worth popping the tranny off and having a look inside to see what's going on. What's your pedal pressure like?

Re: Clutch master cylinder

Your clutch should not be extremely hard. Sounds like your release bearing is not installed properly or it's bad. Pull the tranny off and the take a look at it and reseat it if necessary.
