[RESOLVED] Clutch Fluid Leaking Into Cabin

99 GST-R · 11-06-2009, 08:06 PM

I was changing out a blown fuse and noticed a fluid down by the foot rest. After tracing it back to the source I found that its coming from the clutch pedal. It's not a huge leak, just after you depress the clutch a few times there is enough fluid to drip down from the boot. So is my clutch master cylinder shot? Money is tight, and being in college to play football doesn’t leave me with much time anymore... Is there something I can try with the pushrod, boot, or piston to fix the problem before I go and buy a new master cylinder? Thanksgiving break is coming up soon, but I’d rather not be using that time to install a new clutch master cylinder... Thanks for any help.

Its on its last leg man, but changing it out really only takes about an hour. Couple bolts and lines not bad at all.

Just get a new OEM one like he said above it's an easy job Two bolts for the master,Two bolt for the reservoir and the one line and the pin under the dash and your done Just make sure you adjust and bleed it properly

it's always a good Idea to replace the Slave while your at. It if the master is going the slave isn't gonna be to far behind
Just don't waste your money on anything but OEM

Thats really encouraging I was worried it was gonna take awhile to replace. Do ya think it will last for the seven hour drive home, if I don't drive it much untill I go home for Thanksgiving? I dont have the time, money or tools to do it here..

If you don't need to shift you should be fine... .

But seriously you only need a 10mm and 12mm the change it out...

Looks like my1g nailed it on the head for you

I had this same problem and after changing both the master and slave again like he said only took about 1-2 hrs tops just because your positioning yourself in weird angles to try and reach the spot. Make sure you correctly bleed the cylinders and adjust your pedal once your done!
