Question 1

Buying & Fitting Guide

Accepted Answer

A clutch master cylinder is a component found on vehicles equipped with manual transmission and serves as the pump for the hydraulically operated clutch system. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the clutch master cylinder pushes fluid through the system down to the clutch slave cylinder so that it may disengage the clutch. As they are hydraulic in nature, clutch master cylinders are often prone to issues with leaks that will interfere with its ability to displace fluid. To ensure that you get the correct clutch master cylinder, it is best to check the size and shape of the one currently installed so you can compare with the listed parts. Some important information for selecting the correct clutch component is the type of cylinder needed; fitment position (for left or right hand driven vehicles), piston diameter and date limitation of the unit. As car manufacturers regularly update certain peripherals and design of their models, some clutch master cylinders will only be suitable for particular models of certain years.

Helpful Tips

Accepted Answer

When the clutch master cylinder has problems, it can lead to issues with the clutch pedal and gear changes. Usually a bad or failing clutch master cylinder will produce a few symptoms that can notify the driver that a potential problem has occurred and should be serviced; low or dirty clutch fluid, difficulty shifting gears, abnormal clutch pedal behaviour, noisy engagement and presence of oil on the cylinder. The clutch master cylinder is an important component and if it develops any problems, they can quickly lead to issues that affect the overall drivability of the vehicle. If your vehicle is displaying any of the symptoms above or you suspect that your master cylinder may be defective, have the vehicle inspected by a professional technician to determine if the car will need a replacement clutch master cylinder.

Question 4

Valeo Clutch Master Cylinders

Accepted Answer

Along with new car manufacturers’ requirements, it has become difficult to fit a cable in a straight line between the pedal and the lever. That’s why more and more cars are now using hydraulic systems. These are much more flexible and reliable compared to cable systems. First, they enable an optimal and constant pedal effort. Second, the used material is much lighter (up to 70% reduction of weight compared to the standard clutch system command) as well as being more compact. This is the main reason why this technology is easier to implement on OE projects. In response to this market trend, Valeo has developed a wide range of hydraulic parts: clutch master cylinder (CMC), clutch release cylinder (CRC) and clutch slave cylinder (CSC). Both the clutch master cylinder and the clutch release cylinder are used in the “semi-hydraulic” system, whereas a “full hydraulic” system uses a CMC and a clutch slave cylinder. The CMC is part of both the full and semi hydraulic system. Its function is to transform the movement of the clutch pedal via the movement of hydraulic fluid. The current Valeo range is composed of over 100 part numbers.
