Clutch master cylinder - best way to renew?

<< < (2/2)

Litch:
I have always advocated replacing both cylinders at the same time for the very reasons they give in the article.
I once suffered slave cylinder failure only a week after replacing the master cylinder so since then I have replaced both cylinders and the flexi-hose at the same time.

broken110:
I have just replaced both cylinders at the costs mentioned above, the most difficult part was getting the old slave cylinder off due to access for the bolt heads.

However I still have a problem in that the pedal moves almost to the floor before the clutch disengages, which was the problem in the first place. When I looked at the slave -  it was clearly shot and the master was leaking too.

I have bled the system and have used Unipart 4 dot fluid. The pedal height is correctly adjusted but uit still feels like the clutch is only just disengaging.  The clutch itself should be ok - it has only done about 25K.

Any ideas?
