Clutch Slave or Clutch Master cylinder ?

[Fabian972]

Which is it slave or master cylinder that goes thru the fire wall to the clutch pedal ? I got clutch fluid leaking on to my pedal.

Clutch Master Cylinder, but it wouldn't be a half bad idea to replace both as when one poops out on you, the other is sure to follow soon.

I've replaced both of them in my RS but not in my Gs-t is it pretty straight forward ?

Check your local auto parts store (AutoZone, Pep Boys, etc.).

The master is really the one that's more of a PITA. You can get at the slave at a later time rather easily if need be.

Yes, it's a pretty straight forward job. I haven't done one on a RS, but would assume it's pretty damn close to being the same.

I would not buy a master cylinder or slave from an auto part store. I bought one and it didnt work on the first install. thought I just couldnt bleed it right. I then put a OEM used one on and it worked great. Also I bought a slwve from Auto zone, it was so cheap and crappy that the rubber boot broke off in my hands as I pulled it from the box. They are crap, go with OEM.

if your clutch master is the same on a GS as the turbo cars here's a little tip.. don't bother with that annoying cotter pin that attached the fork to the clutch pedal, just unscrew the fork from the new master cylinder that's on the end of the rod. Mark where the fork is on the old rod (still inside the car) and unscrew it from the fork.. now match up that mark onto the new rod, and screw it in the same distance into the old fork (which is attached by the annoying cotter pin) you'll see what I mean when you get in there if you don't already know what it looks like.. it'll just save you some hassle.. especially if your cotter pin is bent right up like mine was.
