So that $56 clutch master from napa seems like a steal eh…

my current one was installed last spring and used for the summer. the car was stored and then pulled out 2 weeks ago.

It failed last night - $75 tow fee…

The SOB had less than 15K on it and still looks brand new, no stains, oxidization anything.

Full DOT3 fluid flush when installed new (with slave and braided line), there were black chunks floating in the resevoir and the seal seems to have expanded on the cap.

The Best part is I replaced the original OEM (1995) one with this piece of shit when it was working fine.

OEM = $119 (Paul Coffey) I just ordered the last one in Canada

EDIT: SR20 with a 3 puck and heavy weight diaphram, stock slave(nismo as soon as this dies)

Damn dude…maybe that’s why my clutch felt like shit too…

By the way, why the fuck do you not have CAA? $99 for the whole year, 5 tows, 200km per tow! + all the discounts no movietickets, attractions, etc.

I don’t work for CAA but I just recently realized all those things and have been making use of them 😃

You just wreck stuff Darian. Whether on purpose or not, you just do. Luck perhaps ?

I’ve been running a NAPA Clutch Master since 06 with zero issues.

yah ive gone threw 2 or 3 napa slaves and 2 clutch masters, my cost on the slave was like 11$ and the master was like 23$, both of which have failed at the worst possible times, sounded like a good deal, when i went SR i just used the oem sr master and slave. no problems since

Need  
Another  
Part
