Ok I'm installing a new clutch master and slave cylinder in my car and ran into something I thought was odd and was wondering if someone here could tell me if it's normal or not. When I pulled off the line that goes from brake master cylinder reservoir to the clutch master cylinder I was expecting brake fluid to pour out (my brake master is near the full mark) and nothing came out at all...not even a drop. Is this normal? I thought that the fluid would've poured out to keep the clutch master cylinder "full". Thanks for any input.

 

Not 100% sure on how the master cylinder operates but is there any possibility you could have a blockage or build up in the hard line?

 

Well I'm replacing the hardline with a STM full stainless braided line, was just wondering why the brake master isn't letting any fluid out it's reservoir, I guess I'll find out if it's normal or not after I try bleeding the system.

 

Well good luck with it let us know what you find out.

 

yes its normal! just changed mine and my clutch line with the stm master to slave line. just make sure your brake master is full of fluid when bleeding the clutch.

 

Will do

Thanks buddy!

 

i just did my STM line as well,but i left the master hose on,so i can't say.i will say that if you have big hands like i do,it's a ***** to get the new line on the clutch master.i ended up putting a drop of CA on the copper crush washer on the outside to hold everything together while i fished it back in there.

also if you are using a Quartermaster clutch you will need a -3an flared union fitting (jegs or summit) for the TOB/Clutch master line connection.the QM kit comes with a fitting for a banjo bolt.

 

You aren't kidding about the fitting to the master, was a complete PITA!

 

i took the master cylinder out with the lines attached, made it much easier!!!
