clutch master cylinder differences?

[one eyed willy]

i need a new one for my 2007. i thought i read somewhere that the 2011+ ones were better? wont break like the older ones?

i can see no reason why they wouldnt interchange, but want to make sure before i order, anyone changed thiers out to a newer one?

use the specific one made for your car!

Si!

2013 gt 500 is different? not sure about the rest.

The new one is not plastic and it has a bigger bore, to push more fluid, so the clutch will release quicker. I am planning on putting it on my 09.

all the pictures i have seen of the 2013 gt500 are plastic.....

i thought i read they were metal also, but all i see in the pictures is plastic.

Well I ordered one, should be here tuesday.
I too thought it was metal?

Did you get the Cyc? what is it made of?

 

[hamish]

Yeah I got it the other day.
It is definitely metal.

 

[one eyed willy]

this part is metal?

do you have the part number you ordered?

 

[hamish]

As you can see, No that part is not metal.

i have to buy one either way...i heard a rumor they fixed the plastic part that breaks with a metal part....but guess that was just a rumor....wonder if there is any benifit going with this one over the normal one for my car then?

when are you replacing yours?

It was supposed to be done today but the shop has cars still on the hoist FML!!!

So I made an appointment with a better shop for next friday.

The major difference between this one and our OEM is the inside diameter has been increased to accommodate more volume.

And of course the metal body.

I can't confirm the inner dimension or volume increase, that was all in magazine.

Get it installed? I now have both versions sitting here and there is a huge difference from what I can see on the length of the rod when at rest.

WTF?
Great pic, I am in the middle of a shut down at the moment.
It's going to be a few weeks before I throw it in.
I wonder if there will be an issue as the pedals in the gt500 have a helper spring.
Maybe they redesigned the mounting position?

Installed the new one today.
It feels a little stiffer and clutch disengagement feels a little higher up.

The old one had fluid apparently leaking from the back.

May have been the cause of some clutch issues I had in the past.

So far so good.

Interesting, I will probably be going to this over the winter.

Replaced mine due to internal leaking. With clutch pedal on the floor it would release on its on ( not cool) installed a new one, bleed it and no issues so for. About a year now.
