[s-cars] Clutch Master Cylinder Replacement Procedure

[Tom Green]

>
Mark,
I've been intrigued by this offer for a rebuild kit.  I wish someone  
would verify it.  I
may have to do so since it is cheap.  I have no faith in this catalog  
without being able to
see and touch the actual part.

1995 AUDI S6 Clutch Master Cylinder Repair Kit

These guys seem to have the cheapest price for a cylinder showing the  
correct part.
It depends on when you intend to change the cylinder.  Some free  
shipping offers
might result in a lower total price, or express costs vary a lot.

I wouldn't  worry about the rod if the clutch is not getting stiff.   
It is not too difficult to change
if you are good at working under the dash.  : > )

Changing the slave and the flexible line between the two is a good  
idea.  If you have the
time, rebuilding the line is much cheaper ( it uses brake line parts).

Getting the brake fluid out of the carpet may be the hardest part.   
Don't wear your best
shoes if you continue to drive with it leaking, and watch for slippery  
soles on the pedals.
