Default Is there a better clutch master cylinder upgrade?

Mines is leaking. I drive a 92 cx and was wondering if there is a better clutch master cylinder to gives me more pedal pressure or something like that.

for a stock clutch it is all the same ****... pedal effort required will only go up if you put a clutch with a stiffer pressure plate.

You'd need a smaller clutch cylinder to increase line pressure, or just increase the pedal ratio.

Those things just end up leaking. Easy to fix. I just replaced one on my friends 92cx & I replaced my 94cx 2 years ago. There arn't bigger ones made for a civic. If you had a different size, the pedal travel would be different, which is not good (over exert the clutch diaphram).

Stock Nissin's seem to be failing left & right here in vegas (I guess 8 years isn't too bad). I hate for somebody to pay more for a part that fails as quickly as anything else. El Cheapo E-bay part has been working perfect for me for years now.

get a 1991 EX four door master cylinder is it 15/16, bigger than the stock (13/18 or some **** like that)one.There is also a type r one that is 1" but you need to rebend the lines. The ex one is plug and play.

For someone serious, there is a racing master cylinder from Tilton. It eliminates your slave cylinder by putting this thing inside your tranny that puts pressure on the clutch system. There are stainless steel lines that go from the tilton MC to the tranny.

Does anyone know if the DC2 Integra master Cylinder will bolt up to a 95 CX. Mine is starting to leak.
Thanks

I believe you would need the brake booster from the integra also for it to bolt up (not 100% sure though). then the brake lines would need rebent to fit the different hole locations on the integra MC

Mike1114, we are talking about the clutch system, not the brake system!

Arsenal, yes they are the same part.

You guys should find an auto parts place that sells OEM parts. Near my house, we have a place called Rising Son Auto Parts. They sell BRAND NEW Nissin clutch masters in some cheap box for 50 bucks!

Sell other OEM parts for cheaper than I get them for at 10% over cost

Oh ****, got brake and clutch mixed up.

But as I did say before, there is an upgrade if you wanna pay the $350.

Use the 2004 to 2009 s2000 master cylinder.
