clutch master and slave cylinder went out

[Ppenguin2134]

In Jan of 2008 my clutch master and slave cylinder went out on my 99 GST. It was fixed and all was well. Today, Aug 4th 2009 both went out ounce again. Since the 1st break down, I've driven 15k mil on the car. I don't race my car or even drive it very hard. This has become a very irritating and costly problem. Could there be a reason that this is happening or did the shop that fixed it the first time mess up?

The thing is that those two should never go out at the same time, if they are then I would look at your peddle and make the proper adjustments.

What kind of adjustments? The thing that kills me most, is that this is the 2nd time both have gone out on me in a year.

Make sure you use oem equipment dont use the local parts store crap.. A lot of times if one is bad the other will be also.

If you have went threw 2 clutches, It's most likely that your flywheel has become glazed over and needs to be turned along with a new cluth.

He didn't go through two clutches. There's a video on I believe Jack's transmissions site on how to adjust the pedal. Anyone have the link?

Replacing the cylinders yourself is actually really easy and cheap. Not saying to do it and ignore your problem definately do some adjustments on your pedal but since you will need to replace them, I bought the master and slave clutch cylinders from rockauto.com and paid like 45 chucks.
