Can you not just bore it like you would a brake master cylinder? I rebuilt
it (boring it out and replacing all of the seals). I thought that this was

take a look for myself. :) Oh well. I'm not going anywhere soon until I
get that new gas tank. :)
Oh...and have you priced a new clutch m/c? I am just wondering. :)
