7 Symptoms Of A Bad Clutch Master Cylinder by Godspower35(m): 2:52am On Mar 02, 2019
The clutch master cylinder is part of any car with manual transmission. It offers the switch hydraulics. If you start to feel or hear something unusual when you switch gears or push down the clutch pedal, pay attention because it may indicate a problem with the master cylinder. If you have a bad coupling
cylinder, you will probably see some of these symptoms. Keep in mind that these symptoms may also be due to other transmission problems, but they are good to look for if you suspect a master cylinder number.


1.
Soft pedal


The “soft” pedal is when you can feel your foot that the pedal has lost its normal resistance when you press it down. This may be due
to leakage of the master cylinder. Leakage may be due to seal problem.

2.
Hard Shift


If it is difficult to move the gearbox, indicates that the Master Cylinder is defective. When you cannot properly switch, it may be difficult to change gear.

3.
Pedal to the floor


If the clutch pedal does not rise from the floor, the hydraulics of the clutch will not work at all. Probably the Master Cylinder has been removed and needs to be replaced immediately. You can't drive a car in this condition.

4.
Low liquid

If you find that the transmission fluid is low and you have to fill it more often than usual, you are likely to have a leak. This leak can come from the master cylinder. It may also be a crack or hole in any transfer system. All gear parts must be checked for leaks to isolate the problem.

5.
Fluid rise in the tank


If you have a bad master cylinder, you can do the following test with an assistant. Ask your assistant to press the switch to see if the reservoir transmission fluid rises when the switch is down and rises again when the switch is released. If this happens, your master cylinder must be replaced.

6.
Loud engagement


If you arrive with the brake applied and the gear engaged, you may hear a loud noise when you hold down the clutch pedal. This may be because the master cylinder is leaking and does not hold the release fork when the pedal is depressed.

7.
Oil on the cylinder


If you still are not sure what the problem is, look under the bonnet and inspect the master cylinder yourself. If the bottom of the cylinder feels moist and oily, the leak is likely to come from the master cylinder.

A defective clutch master cylinder loses its power to maintain the hydraulic pressure required for the operation of the clutch. If you take care of the repair of the cylinder, you protect your entire transmission from damage. Make sure it is repaired immediately.

Points to note:
I believe with this vital point above, it will be easy for you to identify immediate signs of a Bad Clutch Master Cylinder . If these can be easily avoided the vehicle will be in a good condition.

And when you are eating Okro soup with Starch, does it mean you can't watch the English Premier league even when it's glaring that LeBron James will never be as tactical as Usain Bolt. Still a fault at some point, democracy is not meant for all countries even thought is glaring that dogs are closer to human than cows.

OP, you must be living in the distant past....shouldn't this be a thread for the 90's? Clutch? Since when?
Just like trying to advice folks how to maintain or clean a Carburetor of a car... How many current vehicles use that sh!t anymore? None! sad

90% of operating vehicles on the roads are automatic!

How many manual transmission vehicles are still out there (other than danfos)?

Chairman, do you know the number of 2008-2015 Toyota Hilux and Corolla that are using manual transmission. Almost all fleet vehicles are manual transmission be it government or private. These cars end up in private hands. Taxis are manual too. I am typing this reply in a manual car.

I have decided that any utilities car in my house will be a manual or diesel or both.

IjebuWarrior you are wrong.
Most race cars use manual transmissions. There is no car that doesn't have it's manual transmission version. There are year 2020 model cars with manual transmission. Even Range Rovers and specially ordered Rolce Royce build manual. The truth is that most people don't want to pass through the rigours of learning driving, even a 5 year old can drive an automatic car by just observing his dad drive. Also, manual are not interesting to drive in traffic due to the stress of clutching and changing gears.
But believe me, manual transmission still rocks till tomorrow.
