clutch fluid MIA..Where did it go ??
I have a 85 GSL-SE and I went to put the car in 1st gear...it was really soft. I though Oh S***.
I looked at the clutch master...empty....looked under the car...nothing...looked in the car at floor board....
nothing.... I put more fluid in drove it a bit...checked the fluid...it was filthy....seemed to work ok but I do not trust it.
Now what???
Replace the clutch master ( only 2.5 years old) or what.
Your thoughts please...Thanks !!!

If you put an aftermarket Clutch Master Cylinder in, 2 to 3 years is about how long they last. Best to spend the extra bucks and use the Mazda OEM part. I'm in the middle of replacing the rusted after market one that came in my car when I bought it.
