Default Where? Clutch Master Cylinder Replacement

Quite sure I need a new master cylinder, at the very least some serious air is in the system. Where would you recommend on the west side to get it done? I figure $200 should cover it, am I right?

Thanks. Wishing I had some time this week to do it myself.

Your garage? I did this on the CR. You have the power Ken! Have you bought one yet?

I haven't. I've seen several sources say Majestic Honda as a source, but I'd like to get it done tomorrow.

I have ZERO free time Wednesday through Friday, so I'll have to either do it myself tomorrow or get someone else to do so.

If it was like mine, it developed a slow leak at the seal where it mounts at the firewall.
It would get air in the system really easily.

Personally, if it were me, just due to timing, I would just bleed it (20 min job with 2 people) and see if it improves long enough to find time to do a proper replacement. When I bled mine I could get about a month or so of reasonable usage before enough air got back into it to cause problems.

I got an aftermarket one from rockauto for half the cost of anywhere else, including Majestic and it worked great.
I probably even have a 5% off coupon I could find in my email if you were interested.

I doubt any dealer will have them in stock to do tomorrow but maybe. We should be able to knock it out sat too.

Usually Hillsboro Honda has been decently priced when you mention you're with the s2ki group as well.

Thanks! I'll put it on my ramp this morning and see what I can do.
