Clutch master cylinder - 02 WS6

**IceeWS6** · 01-13-2010, 08:19 PM

I have an 02 Trans am, LQ9 408 stroker through a "viper-spec" t56, and i need to install a new clutch master cylinder. whenever i'm shifting hard/fast, i seem to lose clutch pressure. apparently this is because the master cylinder is plastic? and the high pressure of shiting this way bows out the walls of the cylinder, leaking fluid? i was wondering if anyone had any tips or info on parts and installation? apparently a common problem!

Thanks!

Thanks guys this helped a LOT. also, kinda off topic, but does anyone know of anywhere that sells the high-mount aero spoiler for the firebirds other than young's f-body online? I ordered some stuff from them awhile back and never got it. apparently everyone who orders from them never gets their parts. Plus they wont answer the phone or its disconnected.

icee do yourself a favor when changing the clutch master,remove the brake booster it will be so much easier,unless you have small hands.once the booster is removed its not that bad.
