Reply to "Black stuff in clutch master reservoir"

Ron - any reliability issues with the wilwood? How long have you been using it? Your spare comments make me nervous! Perhaps it is ptsd from the garbage repro parts??!!

No worries. I keep just about a spare of everything not readily available local that could possibly fail during our driving season, especially after 2-3 failing "OEM" clutch masters in this case.

I have to pull the seat for access. Can't contort like that anymore.

I pull the seat out every time I need to work under the dash, and these days, it takes all the effort I can muster to get up and out the door. I'm sure it's not an age thing...

...to make the clutch master easier to change, some of us bore a 1" OD hole sideways through the toe-box sheet metal, such that the hole lines up with the clutch master connecting pin. A 1" plastic hole plug from a hardware store closes off the access hole for neatness.

I forgot about boring that 1" hole idea. Have to consider doing that next time. The last time I R&R'd the clutch master, I used a hairpin clip to secure the pin I fed from the other side using needle nose pliers. Having the hole would make that job a lot easier for sure.
