Did it end up leaking out the bore onto the carpet?

If so, probably just wear and tear and not related to the QM clutch.

I've got like 4-5k on mine without any trouble.

There really isn't anything that can go wrong with a master cylinder other then the seals.

Unless you have the actuator rod adjusted incorrectly to the point where it can't auto-bleed.

No problems here operations wise, but once my QM clutch went out (15k miles), it was really hard to get any grip at all. It was an immediate shift from really violent and strong grabs to almost no grab at all.

Ok I have another question for you guys when you push the clutch in do you feel a vibration in the pedal ? Pretty much at any time when the car is running..

i dont feel any vibration at all, the first thing that comes to mind with you saying that is the TOB is hitting the PP fingers. was your TOB shimmed at all?

i didnt use any shims with mine and never had a problem

I didn't put the clutch in.......how catastrophic is what you are telling me ? I figured that the tob had to hit the to disengage the clutch..

just sounded by what you said like the TOB was touching the clutch while its spinning a little that would cause the vibration, obv when you push the clutch in though you'd think it would go away

if it was me i would put the car up on four jackstands and pull the inspection cover with the car off and have someone push the clutch pedal in, then do it with the car on. just what i would do personally to see whats going on.

is your clutch not disengaging fully?

It was working fine, I think it just needs bleed real bad. The bleeder that came with the leaked slightly and I figured if it could push fluid out it sure could suck air it in. Idk it's just what I was thinking.


Ok so I'm gonna take the inspection plate off what am I looking for exactly?
