looks to me like the seals are taking a crap all over the inside. I would definately look in to replacing it or getting a rebuild kit (if they make them for our cars, I don't know..)

But for the answer, yes, the master off the other car should fit as long as it lines up with the mounting holes, which as far as I know is the same for all years w/ hydro trannies (feel free to correct me if Im wrong on this)....

Good luck, its not too hard of a job, but it could be kinda messy w/ clutch fluid needing to be drained before you start...

what year is the car your drive, and what year is the gsr?

As a matter of fact, all that matters is that they are one of these vehicles:

92-00 Civic
94-00 Integra (&lt;-might be 01.. I dont' remember the generation ending year)
93-97 Del Sol

If both cars fall in to any one of those categories, the clutch MCs are interchangeable.

That is a plastic and foam piece that reduces noise and heat from the front of the car.

It is cracked and messed up from being in contact with brake fluid (clutch fluid).

Replace that as soon as you can. Mine looked liked that and then a couple weeks later the pedal just dropped to the floor. Tried bleeding it for a least two days straight but it would regain pressure. So I got rid of that and got a new one from Honda. Its works perfect now with no problems.

Its the fire wall mat, and it serves a very important purpose other then reducing noice and heat. I have heard that it will help the driver/passenger, in case of a fire from the engine, and give them enough time to get out of the car before the fire would to reach them. This will deff not prevent the fire from reaching the cabon all together. But this is only hear say as i could care less what its really used for.
