Might be the master cylinder.

**Rhinohuey** · 09-17-2007, 04:42 PM

Did it break again after driving it hard? Did you make any high-rpm shifts in that 2 hours?

**RedFenix_68** · 09-17-2007, 07:52 PM

no i didnt i wasnt driving it hard in either cases

**RedFenix_68** · 09-17-2007, 07:53 PM

and i shift about 2500 rpms

I'd be willing to bet you got internal leakage in the master cylinder.

The master isn't too bad of a job to get off. Might be worth checking out. Hardest part is bleeding the fluid when you re-install or replace it.

so the master cylinder could make the slave cylinder go bad then

I'm 99.9% sure thats what happens.

I know for sure my master cylinder went bad and then my slave cylider went bad right after. It started with my master leaking internally.

What do you mean broke? Did it just stop working correctly or it broke apart into 2 or more pieces? Also what slave are you using GM, parts store, ect?

i got my slave cylinder from car quest. after the first one broke, the shiop replaced it. then 2 and half hour s later the second slave cylinder broke. sorryn im kinda drunk and pissed off bout the car. but i t6alked to fbody motor sports they say it might just be a bad slaave cylinder or the cutch isnt alighmned properally

Yeah my two thoughts were either just a crap slave or when the tranny/clutch was installed the slave got messed up.

**RedFenix_68** · 09-19-2007, 07:35 PM
