Twist yourself into Gumby, and look under the dash, at the back of the master cylinder (where the clutch pushrod goes in). Any fluid there?

You're fairly new, so I'll give you some of my "old age" wisdom- get rebuild kits for the master & slave at the auto parts store, and rebuild them once a year. Like a birthday. By doing this, you spend only $25 or so a year, and you will never, ever have clutch hydraulic problems again. Ever

I'm probably the wrong guy to ask, because I'm more into the reliability and long life quests for my RX. She already goes fast enough to kill me, so that's fast enough for me, lol...

There are plenty of guys on the forum that live for the express purpose of going faster and faster, I'm sure they'll chime in. 6K could definetly take you places

if you have 6k I would just get a blown TII, rebuild everything, replace shocks and get it back great mechanical condition then after breaking it all back in, start modding.
I wouldn't bother with an engine swap, but plenty of people do it.

If you have 6K, go with a 20b, or if you want to swap and mod, go with a 13B-RE

Here's what you clutch master will look like:


Note the black guck leaking out the back.
Also note the black deposits in the reservoir.
The black is from rubber wearing off the piston cup.

I was thinking the exact same thing because that is what happend on my car before i replaced a part or 2 on the master Clutch Cyl, It ws barely noticeable for me since it was leaking behind the carpet under the dash.

Matt


OR it's also only like 58 bucks delivered to order a new master and slave cyl form nopi online.
