Thier is like a plastic nut on the clutch pedal that the master cylinder is attached to and I do not want to break it off and there is not a whole lot of room to work with. Anyone have any tips on this? Thanks.

 

If I remember correctly you just pop it off. Wedge a screwdiver in and pry it.

 

Will I need a new one when installing another master cylinder?

 

The new MC should come with a new plastic retainer.

 

Does anyone know where to get these plastic thingies? The one on the new assembly I bought for the swap broke IMMEDIATELY after installing it.. not major.. found a way around it.. but still.

 

I would like to know also, because my new cylinder is used and I imagine it will not come with it.

 

It does.. but as I said.. mine broke like the second time I pressed the clutch in.. and it hadn't even been bled yet.

 

Well what I meant was, its coming off a 95 trans am used, Im pretty sure they popped it to get it off also, pretty sure im gonna have to look for one of those.

 

Oh.. yeah.. time to find a new one or find a way to get around it.

 

How exactly did you jimmy rig yours? That way if no one does know where to get these I can at least have something to work with, thanks.

 

Err... If I recall I zip-tied the pushrod to the pedal.. but I don't reccomend trying this at home. I had the zip tie slip once and the pedal got stuck down, but I haven't tried to pass this car as a daily driver in over 2 years, so I can get away with that kinda thing. I plan on buying a pack of misc-sized C-clips once she's running again and seeing if one fits the groove in the connecting rod.. I'll let you know.

 

Ever find a C-Clip that will work? Thanks.

 

Too busy getting the kinks worked out of the turbo.. it could be a while before I get around to caring about the clutch..

 

you can get them fom thedealership, like four bucks, when my clutch would not work that was the problem, i had mine break in rush hour trafic, had to wrestle it out of gear no to hit somebody. they are megga hard to install, i almost broke mine too. if you want a c-clip get the one for the break pedal, seems like it should be same size.

 

Yea I had to do that, it works just fine but leave the borken white clip on there also so the pedal doesnt have freeplay with the rod. The rod slips over part of the white clip, then place a clip like the brake pedal clip on there and u should be good

hope that makes sense
