Clutch master cylinder finally died after 8 years of actuating a 2600

[Carl Morris]

Well...8 years ago or so I "did it right" with new Mitsu parts for the clutch hydraulic system. Unfortunately it's time to do it again. I called Skyline and they wanted somewhere around $170+ for the master cylinder and require me to give them money/card in person before they'll order it. Definitely a pain to have to drive down there once to order and again to pick it up or have it installed. Anybody have a nearly new/ like new clutch hydraulic system they need to get rid of? Anybody have any other suggestions for where I should order from?

I'm on a NAPA master cylinder, and it's been on for about 5 years now. Strongest clutch to date has been an ACT 2100.

I was thinking about maybe just doing NAPA for the convenience. Thanks for the data point on how yours has held up. According to Skyline there aren't very many left in the U.S., but for now there are still a few factory original ones in the warehouses. In the past I've always been willing to pay extra for that since I'd guess they'd last the longest, not sure now.

Carl,

Maybe try mitsubishiparts.net?

Part number MB012660 = $120 + $14 shipping. I've had good luck ordering from here.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I assume they're OEM parts...

I'm impressed there's still any parts at all for 1G's, the newest one on the road is 15 years old. Especially considering Mitsubishi's financial problems.

Aisen is the OE manufacturer as far as I remember.

The aftermarket OE parts will typically have the brand name ground off, but will otherwise be the same parts and quality.

Word of advice as well to others considering it.

Do NOT use a rebuild kit offered by the parts stores. Not only are the rubber pieces typically sub-par, but your cylinder will most likely require enough honing to get all the grooves and scratches out of the walls. This can open up the cylinder enough to where the seals aren't adequately sized.
