First Post: Master Clutch Cyl Replacement
Hey everyone,
I have been lurking and studying the how to found here:
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/04-06-ralliart-how-s-installations/665085-how-replace-clutch-master-cylinder.html
But finally decided to introduce myself and ask a question. I drive an 06 RA - bought it at 86k miles and now up to 110. It has served me wonderfully. My first Mitsubishi - but it will definitely not be my last. I don't think I will ever leave the Lancer.
My clutch stopped working and turned out to be the MCC. I have removed it, but I am having difficulty with the 17mm Banjo Bolt as described in the link above.
It has a hole drilled clean through it to allow fluid to flow through from the MCC to the Slave Cylinder, however, no matter how I screw it on, the holes do not align with the hole in the clutch line hose fitting.
It sure seems that this is something that should be aligned. Right?
It is a PAIN to get the MCC back in place! Any suggestions on the job?
Thanks everyone in advance.

it doesn't matter, it's banjo fitting...the "banjo" has a channel inside to allow flow...orientation of the hole in the bolt is irrelevant...
should have got the 2.0L lancer/Evo master cylinder....much easier to remove/install, and less likely to fail...it doesn't have that stupid plate on the side...that o-ring fails, and you're SOL. what I do is tie twine or fine rope to the piston arm, and run that through the firewall, then up and back out the driver side door, then I can tug on the rope with one hand while wiggling the master cylinder into place with the other...but the Evo CMC is smaller, and far easier to install...

adjust to manufacturer specification and you shouldn't have any problems...if you need the procedure, PM me...
two things you don't want, and are both the result of an improperly adjusted clutch pedal are; clutch not fully disengaging, resulting in excessive clutch wear, as well as excessive synchronizer wear, and clutch being disengaged too much, resulting in excessive wear on the release bearing and possible damage to the pressure plate diaphragm...
