Talking Clutch Master Cylinder Problem?

I've been losing clutch fluid recently and since I've replaced the slave already (and there isn't any leaking noticable there) I am thinking the master cylinder is need of replacement.

What's the latest on replacing these. I was looking at the Autozone Duralast lineup, reasonable pricing but thought I'd see what experience anybody has with them, if any.

Any other recommendations on this job?

Thanks in advance folks.

Give Bill B. a call. I'd replace the master, slave and the hose all in one shot and call it done.

Im not sure what brands they are! But Ive used both the stamped sheetmetal ones and the cast iron ones and both work fine. I have a cast iron one right now. When my master cylinder was loosing fluid it got so bad that when Id press the clutch fluid would squirt on my foot. Lol!

Call Jim Jandik, powertorquesystems.com . He rebuilt my slave and master, did a great job at a fair price.

Thanks guys. When I gt ready to do this, I'm going to pull the one off the car and take it down to the parts houses. I'll report back when that happens, might be a couple weeks.

Talking Re: Clutch Master Cylinder Problem?

Replaced the MC with one from OReillys this morning. Power Tourque brand, lifetime warranty. Won't pass NCRS, but I don't plan on going that route. Took it for a ride and the clutch feels better.

Thanks to all for the comments.
