RE: Trash in the master cylinder (score: 1): Author: "Navarrette, Vance" <vance.navarrette@intel.com>; Date: Fri, 14 May 2004 08:21:18 -0700; It does indeed sound as though your booster is on the way out. This is exactly how the booster on my Z-28 failed. Intermittent bouts of extremely high pedal pressure, followed by a return to normal; /html/6pack/2004-05/msg00158.html (8,477 bytes)

Re: Trash in the master cylinder (score: 1): Author: Peter Macholdt <vze2846b@verizon.net>; Date: Fri, 14 May 2004 12:27:42 -0400; The fluid in the brake booster gets there because of leaking MC seals. When you apply the brake, hydraulic pressure pushes the fluid past worn seals and into the booster. I don't believe any of that; /html/6pack/2004-05/msg00161.html (8,279 bytes)
