Exclamation Clutch master cylinder going out all the time -_-

hey guys i was wondering if there is an upgrade available to the clutch master cylinder. i go through them all the time that it gets annoying, im using an ACT extreme pressure plate and i use the car daily.

Whom are you getting the new/rebuilt ones from? (Rebuild quality varies)

What color is the fluid you're pulling out of the dead ones?
Are you replacing the slave cylinder and pipeline as well?

ive been getting rebuild kits which last like a month or a bit more(autozone). i recently just bought the whole master cylinder to see if theres a difference in longevity. the fluid isnt so bad it is still see through and i bleed the whole system every rebuild. slave isnt leaking at all it pretty dry.
i do drive about 210 miles monday-friday (daily beater). 400+hp

You may have better luck with a new clutch master cylinder, but the culprit is at the act extreme pressure plate. The spring is too heavy and also leads to bent forks and broken pivot *****. Step down to the hd pressure plate, and your troubles will go away. This is documented in the drag racing section if you search for pressure plates. If you need the additional torque holding ability, go to a twin disc system.

good info. yea i figured it was the pressure plate. update. i am now hopefully making over 500whp =D so the pressure plate doesnt sound so bad. i will look into the twin clutch though.
