I was driving home last night and i started to loose pedal pressure in my clutch pedal or it wouldnt come all the way up. Im thinking its the clutch master cylinder. Any suggestions.?

I have an 88 10th AE .

 

I just changed my clutch master for the same reason.

 

Did it solve your problem?
Was it hard to do?

 

Did you try checking the slave for leaks?changing the clutch master is really easy, you wont have any problem with it.

 

Is there any bleeding involved? Or anything special i need to look out for?

Yes i check the slave cylinder and it has no leaks but i might change it just to be safe . I was looking at the clutch master cylinder resevoir and the fluid is really dark.

 

yea its probebly bleeding. My freinds fc leaks and now his clutch pedal is all the way to the floor and wont come up

 

did you check the clutch mc fluid level?
happened to me once and i just needed some fluid

 

The fluid level was at full but the fluid is really dark.

When i change the clutch master cylinder do i have to bleed the system?

 

i would drain the fluid, Put new fluid in, then bleed it, before you replace any parts... that solved my prob somwhat like yours

 

How do you bleed the clutch master cylinder

 

there is a little bleeder valve on the thingy on the metal thing that goes to the tranny ill try find u a pic

 

three master cylinders later (original , two rebuilt)....... check to see if your fluid has and sparkles.. if it does new mastercylinder time. and like they said check for leaks new stainles steel clutch hose is only 20 bucks:-)

 

well i guess ill just go ahead and get a new one. It looks pretty simple to put in and the local autoparts store has it for 60 to 70 dollars . I just need to know how to bleed it. What is the process ?

 

sent u a pm

 

you guys should be changing your brake and clutch fluids regularly, at least once every other year. meaning draining the reservoirs and adding new fluid and completely flushing the systems until clean fluid comes out. vacuum bleeding is the safest method if you can get your hands on a vacuum pump bleeding kit, it will not damage the piston seals.
