    Shouldn't be too hard...I think it's two bolts and taking off the line. All are 10mm...but don't quote me...cause might be 12mm. Sorry for the definitive answers

    You should rebuild it...costs half as much as a rebuilt one from the parts store

    Nothing to be scared of...get you a rebuild kit and it will just be a remove and replace as to the internals and remove and replace of the master cyl. itself. You will also need a haynes manual and I believe there is some sorta retainer clip in there also but I might be thinking of the brake master cylinder.

    Or you can buy a rebuilt one (that you could do yourself) for double the cost...but that really depends on your comfort level with doing that and your own preference...either way...shouldn't be a big dealio...just have to bleed the clutch system afterwards. How's the slave cylinder?

    I will see if I can get the instruction from my Haynes and type 'em in here...maybe take some pics. I need to do this as well on my car.

    I would rate this job (from 1-10) as a ...3? maybe a 1-5 scale...as a 1 or 2...it's not hard.


    Question...why is it you think you need to replace the clutch master cylinder? It is very common for the clutch slave cylinder to fail...if you are having difficulties with pushing in the clutch that is. Course...you may be like me...my slave failed completly, and the master will soon need replacing also, even though it has not yet failed 100%

      the first half of the clutch has no pressure and then it gets pressure. and sometimes i need to pump the clutch to gain pressure... also to turn on the car sometimes i need to pump the clutch a little .. seems to me like the master cylinder has a leak in it

          I'd say the Mc is on its way to.

                yeah that sounds like the master cylinder is going out.

                You can bench bleed it but you don't have to, I'm sure you can do it on the car...but...don't quote me...I haven't done it yet

                  ok.... pour the fluid in... u dont have to close the lid. once u do that. u open the slave cylinder. not to much, just enough so the fluid comes out. have someone pump three times, it well start spittin out the fluid. on the third pump hold it down. n then u close the bleed hole, (slave cylinder) then, let go the clutch and then pump it ten times!!! u open the bleed hole. pump it 3 times again. n just do it over until its hard. and keep an eye on the fluid. add more. sorry for the bad english
