I took the car for a service at my local Honda, they said i need to change the clutch master system its leaking, i started to ask questions about this he said its not the clutch itself but a different unit all together so ive been searching around and haven't found anything by the name of "clutch master system" anyone care to explain this to me?

cheers

Clutch Master Cylinder

It is the unit your clutch pedal connects to. It is a cylinder and piston. Your pedal pushes the piston which forces clutch fluid out the cylinder, through the clutch line, to the slave cylinder. THe slave cylinder actuates the clutch.

The seals between the piston and cylinder eventually go. We used to hone the cylinder and replce seals but these days we just replace the whole unit.

Only picture I have:



You can see the grey reservoir cap of the clutch master cylinder to the left of the turbo downpipe.

My CMC is leaking onto my dead pedal on the inside. I havnt gotten a chance to replace it but i know I have to.

my slave just went. Honda qouted me at 500+ dollars. I went online and got the part for 65 bucks and replaced it myself. I dont know about the master cylinder, but dont go getting screwed like i almost did!

mine was replaced on the LAST day of warranty lol. it was leaking from the piston thing on the cabin side

I wonder if i could buy the part myself and do it all myself, anyone know if its easy enough?
