I just can't make this up. I'm not sure I could install this incorrectly and have it function at all - correct side up, only fits in the pedal assembly one way, pedal is also brand new (old one is technically functional as well from previous posts). Only possibility I can think of is it...

You have got to BE FUCKING KIDDING ME. Pulled out the drive way, down the alley, up 1 block and *SNAP* - clutch master plunger snapped behind the pedal, broke off just past the clip. My car is fucking haunted with stupid shit.

Me too man - this bullshit is wearing on me. I think I'm losing fluid....somewhere. Was "full" in the reservoir when I went to bed last night. This morning the level and fell just below the clutch reservoir feed hole. Checked underneath, the floor, all my calipers, under the where the...

Well maybe things are looking better. No issues in my 10mi trip - everything working as intended - clutch pedal kept pressure, brakes worked. No engine lights or wonky behavior. Have it up again to change the oil and will go for another drive - keep an eye on the fluid levels in the tank and...

Drove about 5 miles so far close to home. Everything 'works' so far but I'm still not convinced there still is not a problem, might just be my mind. Gonna go for another test drive on some non neighborhood streets here in a bit and judge after that. Have a tray full of oil I have to dump so I...

Old clutch master out - new clutch master in. Bleeding process started but I have a meeting in a minute.

Almost have the assembly out to inspect. When I say a squish sound its not a sound I recall hearing in all the years. You can feel the pressure build as your press the pedal down until it reaches a point and you get the "squish" as if pressure is being released and the lack of pressure behind...

Brakes work. Back to losing clutch pedal pressure after a while and sticks to floor. New master, new slave - all new lines from start to end. Possible bad slave again? * Almost certainly failed slave - seems to have a leak from the bleeder or the top side of the inlet. Just inspected and...

I will - I'm tired and need to eat. I'll probably do a dozen more before venturing too far out tomorrow.

Woohoo - so far so good. Test drive around the block about 5 times - everything seems to work as it should. Fluid is still moving around from clutch or brake because I had to add some more into the reservoir when I got back, just a little. I'll do a few more test drives tomorrow before...

Front calipers are seized and wont let the rotor/wheel spin. Disassembled and reset the driver side - about to repeat on passenger and see what happens.

Old switch out - new switch in - no more always on brake lights. Guess its time to put the wheels back on, double check clutch pedal for stiffness and give her a go

Picked up the switch - the ol "Just a counter clock-wise twist to remove" is a fucking lie in my case, My small hands still can't twist in the space given...I'll be damned if I want to remove this pedal again but I might tomorrow. Think I'm done in the garage for the night.

Everything back on and bled. Still did something wrong as when re-installed the battery the brake lights come on and stay on. Gonna check the switch and sensor and then give the wheel lines another bleed and check again. Pedal definitely is sitting at a proper height compared to the last...

Come rub up on me, sharing is caring.

Ebay part arrived on time. Is definitely a completely different part. The spacer I was lacking is attached to the booster - it does not come off so its not in my garage. The master cylinder piston hole seems smaller - I haven't measured or compared much yet. Picked up a touch of poison ivy...

Thank you, I'll laugh about it later I'm sure. I just couldn't believe it looking through all my images again and comparing the shop manual. I found a whole booster on Ebay that shows the adapter connected in the sell picture for $50, should be here by Friday. I'm still gonna look locally...

So my buddy Ed just left after doing diagnostics on the brake system with me. We think everything boils down to me being less than smart. After running vacuum tests, which was his initial question/line of thinking that I was not producing enough vacuum. And I wasn't without clamping down all...

I've mostly given up. I'll do rotors and calipers all day. I'll bleed the brakes and replace fluid. But fuck this particular job. I could have dropped my transmission and replaced the clutch at least a dozen times by now. Having my old co-worked come out this weekend to assist - was a...

No real updates on the car. I did pick up the extra brake booster as a CYA. On inspecting that one the center post has about the same amount of play as the one installed. Yessir - I went there. I know when the center post is extended I do not see any adjustment nuts. The pedal side also...
