it's a leaking clutch master cylinder. will be around $180 for a reco, and probably about $100-$200 to remove and replace at a workshop.

I replaced mine last week. Bought a new one from ABS underwood for $55. Labour was free because i fitted it myself.

arh32 do u have the pt number? i have a mate who is gonna do it for me. just need to get the part myself

cheers

arh32 are you sure you are not talking about slave cylinder? if that really was $55 for a brand new master cylinder then that is bargain! possibly the cheapest master in the world.

No sorry dont have the part number, but i know the brand was Protex.

Yeh it was $55 for the master cylinder, i got a slave at the same time and the slave was $50. I couldnt believe how cheap it was. They (ABS at Springwood) give trade discounts to Sau members.

The guys there are really helpfull, one of the staff has a r32 so u could give them a call.

I got one for my R32 GTSt/4 from ABS. They have stores all around Australia. The brand is Protec and the part number was JB1431 and it cost $60. Here is a pic of what you get and what it looks like vs the stock one.
