I bought a new pre-filled pre-bled master/slave assembly off of Ebay for my T-56 swap. Everything was installed and ready to go, but when I went to test drive the car the clutch wouldn't disengage! That stupid plastic strap on the slave didn't even snap either! I tried bleeding the hydraulics, made sure the fork was in correctly, etc. I crawled under the dash today to double check the pedal linkage and saw that on the boot where the master rod goes into the master cylinder, that it looked a little wet. I pried the boot off and immediately fluid started running out. I'm very ticked of. I spent almost $200 on these hydraulics. Anyone else ever experience this?

 

Now that I think about it, I think I may have been the cause for the failure. I'm pretty sure I hit the clutch with the strap off before the slave was installed. Can this blow the master cylinder?

 

That would break the slave not the master. If the master is leaking its defective or was damaged during install.

 

The slave seems fine. I don't see any leaks and it moves in and out. I definitely did not break it during install.
