#194, "RE: Clutch feels soft after long drive?" In response to In response to 6
>It only feels really soft after long drives..does that still >mean my master cylinder is going out?
It's possible, either that or a slave cylinder.
Will I have to buy a new >clutch
No, not at all.
..i think the owner repaired it like 20 or 30 miles >ago..err got a new clutch..
Then it's very possible that whoever replaced the clutch either left some bubbles (air) in the clutch fluid line or in doing the new clutch exploited an already problematic master/slave cylinder.
how much will it be to fix the >master cylinder or whatever.. Thanks
You can try and bleed your clutch fluid first, and see if there's any air in the lines. If that doesn't work , get a new master cylinder rebuild kit. I've heard people say it costs closer to $40, but I've also heard it costs as little as $15 at Autozone. If this doesn't do the job, then replace your slave cylinder. To learn more about how these parts work, go to www.howstuffworks.com . Then go to your Chiltons or FSM to learn how to replace them.
