i installed a new clutch mc and sc from vb (or bd, or whatever it is now) about two weeks ago and the mc is rusting like a muthafucka. its also causing the firewall around it to rust really, really bad. has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know how i should keep it from doing this after i remove the thing again and get rid of the current rust?
thanx

(i liked this one! lol)

 

They do rust as they have a really cheap arsed paint job, that's not a real issue, but your firewall is, I suspect you had brake fluid on the paint which strips the paint, it may be too late but wash it off.

 

next time you do your MC or your slave or your brake MC........ PAINT THEM it will help alot even if its only primer

 

Crappy paint? I have seen some of these come out of the box with NO paint. Rust begins 30 seconds after you touch the part. lol

I have gotten to the point that I refuse to deal with deteriorating parts. If a part comes off the car, it gets refurbished before it goes back on, even the new ones.
