I need to replace my clutch Master Cylinder (MC) soon. How do I know? The little drip on my shoe told me so. The clutch Slave Cylinder (SC), on the other hand, exhibits no leakage or other signs of impending failure. Some Vanagon owners claim that when the MC goes, the SC isn't far behind, so one should replace BOTH. Others say that the new, strong MC will blow the seals on a marginal SC so, again, replace them both. Yet others say (who ARE all these people, anyway?), "No, that's only for BRAKE slave cylinders, which endure far higher levels of heat and dirt and abuse. Don't fix what ain't broken." So what to do: replace them both, or just the leaker? Thanks in advance! Jeffrey Earl 1983 diesel Westfalia "Vanasazi" __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
