I had the same thing happen to me. MASTER CYLINDER! I went through 7 REMAN masters and they all did the same. I got 1 used master and it fixed the problem!


Seems like they don't know how to rebuild our master cylinder properly.

wow! i didn't know it was common that the reman cylinders were defective. i have hope now! lol ill get another one ASAP and update you guys some time next week. no time to work on it :(

have you tried adjusting the plunger coming out of the booster that actually pushes on the master? with remans youre more than likley going to lose that close tolerance between the two. thats why there is an adjustment nut on the rod.

I ruled that out because the master cylinder that was originally on the car was in working order until recently. both the original master and reman feel the same after being bled numerous times. so there's more of a certainty of the reman being defective just as the original.

problems solved guys! turns out the master was working fine all along. 3 of my 4 brake caliper pins were siezed. i guess cuz the car was sitting for a while. took them out and cleaned them, and the brakes are better than ever! learned something new yesterday lol. thanks for all the help!
