I have my fingers crossed. I thought you had decided it was your clutch plate in the end anyway???


You should be able to get thread adapters if they are wrong :?:

when i fitted the clutch master cylinder the other week and bled the system every thing seemed fine(very easy to get gears) but after driving it around for a while (engine up to temp) it started to get harder to get into gear and the clutch seemed to be biting a lot lower so i bled the system again and it was fine again until the engine got upto temp it isnt loosing fluid
any ideas????

GT5 I have the same problem......except I also have some air in the system. Ive replace the slave now and will be putting it all back together with extra heat shielding soon.....as it is I'm not sure it was the slave so I'm going to look at the master next. How much was your replacement master?

Sort of goes without saying, Reverse has always been a pain.

Stuck record time, but I've said it before Dot 5.1 is much better and compatible with the car and Dot 3 & 4. ie. it's not silicone based like Dot 5.

You'd still need to totally empty out all the old fluid though to get the benefits but any residue isn't gonna cause grief.

Minimal specs:
Dry Boiling Point Wet Boiling Point
DOT 3 205°C (401°F) 140°C (284°F)
DOT 4 230°C (446°F) 155°C (311°F)
DOT 5 260°C (500°F) 180°C (356°F)
DOT 5.1 270°C (518°F) 191°C (375°F)

230°C v 270°C.
I'm just here for the gasoline.
