It's lovely. Getting it replaced soon though....thought I would share :) SO!!! If your clutch pedal starts sinking towards the firewall and doesn't want to return back to its normal position after depressing it, also grinding gears, you COULD have bad Clutch Master Cylinder. These things happen :) So! Onward to replacing something new this time in hopes of nothing else breaking down.

yes they are very fun... especlay when it goes out on you about 5 hrs into an 8 hr drive home from picking up your car. :)... and you know nothing about hydrolic clutch systems and have no tools :)...

power shifting at it's best... amazing how good you get at that.

also beware "holding off" on swaping it... it eats clutches like no ones biz i learned the hard way :)

this was on my mr2 btw

in the end there is nothing that compares to a hydrolic clutch feel though... i can't stand the feel of cable clutches you have no feel of the clutch :(

It's already been replaced but thanks for the warning. When I get some extra cash I might swap the clutch disc for a Stage 1 performance clutch something a lil grippier than stock. I had the entire clutch system replaced last summer. It does shift much better now though. Very beautiful and FUN to drive even at normal cruising around town.

unless your clutch is slippin i wouldn't bother replacing it... it's to costly and labor intensive of a part to just do because you want to :)... now if it starts slippin like hell more power to ya ;-)

i kinda forgot to mention... i drove prob a month w/ the bad master... trying to get away w/ just bleeding the clutch (mid engine car made that hard to start w/) and i'd kick it into 1st befor i'd come to a complete stop... and idel like that w/ the clutch down as much as possible which would let the clutch slip some... nuff to keep still w/ brakes... but i know it wore the thing out quick
