Wes,

The last time I checked, the rebuild kits for the clutch M/C were about $25
at the local Kragen/Autozone type store.

I sell new German ATE Clutch Master Cylinders (251 721 401A) for $45.12,
plus shipping.

For the $20 difference, I would definitely go with the new part.

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: replacing clutch master cylinder

I've got a leaking clutch master cylinder ( I just changed the brake
mc---it was leaking too).  It looks like they're $50 on busdepot.  Are
there still rebuild kits available, and is that an option I should
consider?  Also, it looks like the Haynes manual has pretty straitforward
instructions on this swap, but is there anything in particular I should
watch out for?

Thanks!
