Clutch Leaking....

[Haysey]

Last night driving home i pretty much had no clutch... stopped and found no fluid.....

filled it up an pumped it for 10 mins and it came back.. thismorning looked in footwell and there is fluid leaking all the way down the pedal from the small black thing that surrounds the rod... if you get what i mean...

Now ive searched threads and stuff and couldnt find a clean answer...

what do i need to fix/replace regarding this leak... is it as simple as a couple of seals or do i need a whole new master cylinder?

New or reconditioned?

Brake and clutch specailist??

And finally how much is this going to set me back??

Thanks

If you searched, then you would know you need a new clutch master cylinder.

An aftermarket one can cost around $70, a genuine one i was quoted $400 ish. The a/m one does the job.

As far as im aware, they put in a new oversize cylinder, along with new seals. This costs about $270 from memory, but you need to wait for it to be done, then have the master cylinder put back in.

Or, do as i said, go buy a $70 new one. Two bolts inside the engine bay on the cylinder, and one clip on top of the clutch pedal. Not a hard task at all.

Never replace something worn out with second hand sheit. Asking for more trouble later....
