only thing it could be is that clutch master then. The hose feeding the clutch master from the brake reservoir is rubber, wouldnt cause gray fluid. if the brake master was causing it then the reservoir would be gray, but its not. So i think if you replace the clutch master then you should be good, i cant imagine what else it could even be.

any news on the gray crap??? Just checking in on ya bro.

 

i think it made nycgps nuts so he jumped off a bridge

RIP Buddy

 

Holy S@$T thats funny!!!
I feel his pain.

 

RIP NYCGPS!!!.....we will keep on the NOOBS for searching just in your honor!! haha

 

What kind of fluid are you using? DOT 5? A friend of mine used this on an older car and it did the same thing to his fluid. DOT 5 eats the ruber seals over time. Not a cheap mistake on a car that has ABS.

 

omg i hope mine doesnt turn out like this...gonna start in a bit too

 

just so u guys know ... nycgps would NOT die until i become someone who can take this car apart and put it back in one piece with my eyes closed ! mu ha ha ...

im not n00b/hate my car enough to do that.

i only use dot 4.

hope not... well, it ate my FEED Fujita engineering big clutch release which cost like 300 bux ...

i never had time the pass week cuz i got work plus im working on my fc right now ... but today im gonna take the master clutch out and see what sup ...

 

nyc, mine came out PERFECT no issues, last night we didnt tighten down the bolt, thus the reason we didnt have to feed back, did it this morning and all went well!

heres what my bracket looked like

 

thats cool to hear

I just got home and gonna start my clutch master replacement ... wish me luck lol

 

good luck!

yes, clutch master is shot

Gray fluid comes outa both da holes O_o something inside is broken ... Im going to "autopsy" it probably monday or tuesday.



Old(On top of the container) and new (the one on the floor) and the box (for the new + gasket thats not in the picture)

gonna put in the new one now and bleed ...

 

Done.

Damn it was hard to bleed a "dry, brand new" clutch master. Took me like 50 pumps or something ... arms are tired ...

Special thx to my GF who helped me thru-out the whole process (got like 5 mosquito bites too )

but At least all fluids are "clear" now

ok, so yeah, if anybody sees gray fluid outa its slave, ur master is shot, surprisingly its not a really expensive part.

gg

 

very interesting.


where is this said piece located? and any clue what failed inside to cause this? it really looks nasty..

beers

 

good job!!!!!! im glad mine didnt turn out like that...

 

its right next to the Brake Master Cylinder.

ever wonder where did those 2 bolt thing that connects your clutch pedal comes from? thats it its right behind the clutch pedal, the other side of the firewall


Its probably the piston inside that failed. Im gonna take it apart on monday or tuesday. will take pics and put it on here.

pics or it didnt happen, rite ?

beers

 

never seen it..


but i have also never had a pedal fail..

and i believe it. your photos so far have covered it..

good job!

would love to know the cause.. as this is a very odd one.

beers

 

HE LIVESSS

good job buddy

but like other ppl say, for so much preventive maintenance your car just hates you lol

 

i never notice the clutch master, but its there. just pop the hood, look at the Brake master, then look to the RIGHT. you will see it.

my car hates me ... maybe ... cuz ... I slap that bitch too hard & too often ...

 

im pretty sure your car forgives you

 

this car gave me a lot of commotions ... just like girls ...

 

Changed my coolant today and while under there took a look at my clutch master cyclinder - it's in great shape.

Glad you got it sorted out nycgps and also thanks for absorbing yet another '05 Shinka oddity so the rest of us don't have to. (j/k)

 

Well the mystery is solved. Glad ya figured it out.

 

yeah, but it cost me 370 bux

Its not even suppose to fail at around 52K miles

(70 bux for the clutch master, and the old one killed my 300 bux Fujita eng slave )

 

poop happens
