Methinks you have the terminology wrong for what the overhaul is on. The master cylinder is the thing your clutch pedal is connected to--nowhere near the actual clutch. It's easy to replace, as is the slave cylinder, which is attached to the tranny and activates the clutch release. I just did both on my 94 Civic. BTW, there's brake fluid in the clutch hydraulics, oil in your tranny. Better hope there's no oil in your clutch... ;-) > would it be wise to also get a new clutch while their working on the clutch > master cylinder? If whatever they're wanting to do the overhaul on involves removing the tranny, have them inspect the clutch for wear and decide then. Tegger's still on his original clutch at 400,000 km... |
