MASTER/SLAVE Clutch cylinders
master and slave clutch cylinders, is there any function of upgrading these (if at all possible?)
i was looking on ebay and they had brand new master or slave cylinders for sale.
could someone describe the functions of each and if anyone has replaced theirs for any reason other than broken parts.
no flaming please, just wanting to learn

Re: (phantom_sol)
The clutch master cylinder is connected to your clutch pedal.
When you push down on the clutch it pushes fluid through the hard metal line connected to it, and runs it to the clutch slave cylinder.
The fluid then pushes a rod on the other end of the slave cylinder. that rod pushes the clutch fork back. When it does that the opposite side of the clutch fork moves forward, and on that same side is the throw out bearing. that moves into the clutch assembly, engaging and disengaging the clutch assembly.
The slave cylinder does all the work. the master cylinder pumps fluid to the slave cylinder.
No need to upgrade, but if they are cheap it'd be good to pick them up to replace on an older car. They tend to go eventually.
Hope I helped.

excellent. but mayhapse i should wait till i get a swap or rebuild a tranny before doing this? so replacing it would basically be for maintanence purposes, no gains like with a brake master cylinder? (switching from 13/16 to 15/16)
so far so good. thanks for the reply
