a lot of people were having issues with them…
in a nutshell… mcleod contracted out to a company to do the masters, a place named “CNC”. the quality went downhill. what it comes down to is… over time (not much time) the pucks and the o-ring in the cylinder were getting lightly cut, therefore fluid was leaking past the seal. what i think it is is the hole that is fed by the reservoir. because of this, mcleod stopped production until they find a new reputable company
i took a chance and was lucky enough to find this clutch in a warehouse. i heard good things about the clutch feel, and if i was going to be spending this kind of money… it better be worth it.
the clutch i LOVE. the engagement is like stock, and it doesnt squeel like my spec 5.
the master has been starting to give me a dead zone in the pedal. i just got my new tires, an got the car back on the ground today, and the pedal is NOTICEABLY spongier. im really NOT looking forward to repairing this master.
basically what people have been doing is brake honing the cylinder, and replacing the puck with a NAPA pn, as well as the o-ring.
i SHOULD be fine for the weekend unless it gets exponentially worse. it really sucks but the feel of the clutch is worth it…i guess
