Too late.
I put in the new master cylinder and it works like a champ.
I have rebuilt my last cylinder. Next time I buy a new unit or one that
someone else rebuilt.
I thought about replacing the slave cylinder, but I'm reluctant to touch
anything that is working. I'm a gotta mechanic. I only work on the car
when I gotta.
Thanks again to everyone who helped me with the clutch. Next I have to get
this engine running right.
