How hard is the clutch master cylinder to replace?

the#1 · 03-09-2007, 04:24 PM

Hey all, I'm looking at a '83 with 267,000 miles that needs the clutch master replaced. I was wondering if it is an easy job. It seems like it should be fairly straightforward-

Is the slave easy to get at to bleed the system? Could the master have taken out the slave too? (like from dirt and debris)

Thanks for any help- I'd be so stoked if I could get this car! its got a LS diff!

They both are easy to replace. I've done about 20 of each, back in the days at the dealer.

I'd go ahead and change them both, to "start out" good.

Just be VERY aware of this.........

The car is old ! You will be putting LOTS of $$$$ into it in the first year!!!

I have a 1990 Supra turbo that needs clutch master and slave cylinders replaced. They JUST were replaced a few months back. What do you think went wrong? They weren't replaced at the same time. Could that matter?
