What is clutch master cylinder replacement?
A leaking or failing clutch master cylinder is replaced to restore a firm clutch pedal.
The master cylinder turns your pedal movement into hydraulic pressure. When its seals wear, fluid leaks or the pedal sinks. The mechanic replaces the cylinder and bleeds the system.
Signs you need it

How it works
