Testing the Master Cylinder
Testing the Master Cylinder I have been having hydraulic clutch problems (see my other thread) and to sum it up I pulled the master cylinder out of the car and tried to test it to see if it was still functioning.
There is not a lot of info out there on testing either the slave or master other than just bleeding or replace.
Again out of car I cannot push the bar/plunger (clutch pedal side) down into the master cylinder as its rock hard. Which from the little bit of info I could find means it checks out ok.
I also used a mityvac in the reservoir and it holds the pressure/vacuum like a champ and still not able to pump the master.
While pushing in the quick connect on the braided line I can pump the plunger/rod and fluid comes out like it should
Now it would seem to me this means the Master if fine...Does anyone else have knowledge/experience that says otherwise?
So unfortunately it looks like my slave will need to be replaced and figuring out how I will get to that
