Bad Master Cylinder question
Bad Master Cylinder question I pulled my t56 today due to a rear main leak I need to fix and a clutch hydraulic problem. I noticed that when I bought my slave and master (both GM brand new) I couldn't push the clutch rod on the master until it was connected to the slave. Today when I pulled the tranny, I had the master disconnected from the slave, pushed in the clutch, it went to the floor. does this mean my clutch master is bad? I did cook the master line the first day i drove on the drivers header, could that have done my master in?
If it didn't leak from the connector when you depressed the pedal there is a problem.
Likely the master is bad. Just make sure you dont have any leaks.
Otherwise it's sounding like you need a master cylinder.
I like to wrap the line with a piece of heater hose. Slice it lengthwise & cover the line. Then cover that with some reflective heat tape.
Also maintain it regularly with clutch fluid flushes. I keep an eye on it & flush it when it gets a little dark or the pedal feel changes in the slightest.
