Default Napa clutch master cylinders

Originally the stock one was leaking and making this annoying squeak noise everytime I pressed the clutch pedal in, so I replaced it with a $50 noname napa unit. That one worked fine for a year and then started queaking so I replaced it again for free with another napa one, now this one squeaks.......It seems to be worse in freezing temperatures. Anyone else had this problem with these? Do I need to bleed it more, it operates fine.

What is a good cheap clutch master cylinder?

The napa one sucks, i think its a cheap rebuilt piece of crap. I'm pretty sure the replacement one they gave is defective because its doin the same thing as the first one I bought from them. Initially started making the damn squeaking noise everytime after pressing in the clutch pedal. I think it only does that when the cylinder is leaking.

Just put some oil on the rod that goes through the rubber boot and pump the pedal a few times. The squeaking should go away.

All you need is a light coat.

If your pedal has pressure then the master is fine.

I had the same problem on my 98 Z28 a few years back and the oil took care of the squeak.

I hope this helps.

I had the NAPA one on for a while and it sucked. My fluid was always dirty and the pedal would stick to the floor. Do yourself a favor and buy the GM one.
