850 Clutch master clyinder

Mr-Scooty

In need of a clutch master cylinder for my 850 T5. I have a major brake fluid leak and the clutch fluctuates between super late activation and having no issues so I'm assuming the clutch cylinder is the culprit. If anyone has one or knows where i could find one that would be fantastic.

Thanks,

Connor

Is that a shared with the brake master cylinder clutch system or separate?

If the former, maybe your leak is coming from the slave cylinder.

Do you have a picture of it?

Mr-Scooty

Here's some photos of the relevant parts:

The brake booster and master cylinder show no signs of leakage and my brakes always feel fine even since it started leaking.

The last photo is under the car where the front is towards the right. Circled in blue is where the fluid is shown to be leaking from so the only thing I could think of that is that far towards the back of the engine bay is the clutch master cylinder.

Not sure the easiest way to get to the slave cylinder is but if it's not too hard I can try to get a photo of that as well.

Slave cylinder is the other side of the car. Remove your master and get it reconditioned as they haven’t been available for years.

I can do the master rebuild for you

Mr-Scooty

ramrod That would be great, where are you located? Would I just need to send the master cylinder itself to you?

Even though the master cylinder is not leaking, the contents of it are nearing 30 years of age and depending how good the previous owner was at brake fluid maintenance, you would benefit from rebuilding it.

And of course repair or replacement of the slave cylinder.

Do you want me to fix both cylinders?

Mr-Scooty

ramrod are you referring to the clutch master or brake master cylinder? I've just removed the clutch master cylinder as I thought it was the reason for the leakage, and there was no fluid in the hoses or clutch lines when I disconnected them which makes me think the clutch cylinder was in fact causing the issue.

I might remove the brake master if it's best to have it restored, as well as the slave cylinder. Would it be best to restore all three if possible?
