clutch master cyl blown?

[mkIIIman089]

So I'm looking around to see how I can drill the hole I need to mount my guages and since I'm doing my clutch soon I figured I'd just check to see if everything adjusted right at the pedal... low and behold, the pic. They say a picture speaks 1000 words, so I'll let it do the talking. What do you think?

No, it's designed to leak fluid like that to prevent excessive clutch wear.

j/k, you need a new master.

Okay, I figured as soon as I saw it that I needed a new one. Just figured I'd ask the pros

Toyota sells a rebuild kit.. it replaces all the rubber parts in the master cylinder.. it cost < $ 15.

Just don't have a Toyota dealership do it. Mine blew out on me when I was driving cross country in Wisconson. They charged me 115 for the cyclinder, and 360 in labor for a job that takes an hour tops. I'll die before I take it back to a dealer.

Wow, I just ordered one from Elmhurst (Curt is an awesome guy to deal with by the way) for 89 bucks he said that the list was 109. And I planned on installing it myself.

I guess in a pinch though you gotta do what ya gotta do, it blowing in wisconsin (like 1500 miles from here, lol) I would have done the same thing you did.

BTW, could this have contributed to my clutch enguagement being very high up in the pedal throw?

Better change the slave while you're at it. I just picked up a new slave and master for $68.00 combined.

 

[PynkEye]

ya Nopi has both, and cheap...think slave and master were like 60 $ for me too...ggreat deal...prob. not as good as dealer shit, but still.

holy crap $89, i got a generic autozone master and its been on there a year now and nothing is wrong with it "knock on a Wooke",
o well next time it goes, im sure u can find it cheaper.

Problem with the generic replacements has been that they only seem to last about a year. D32DC311, I'd advise keeping a close eye on yours for the next few months.
