Dodgy clutch master cylinders
Discussion
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with dodgy clutch master cylinders from Racetech.
This will be the second one that has failed on me after only 3 or 4 months. They start leaking from the seals -- dripping from the push rod and dust cap full of fluid. I completely drained the system last time and put Dot 4 fluid in.
I kept the first new one with the intention of putting a seal kit in it, anticipating that the second new one would fail too, which sure enough it has.
Does anyone know what seal kit is needed?
Thanks

Like others I've just happened to get a clutch master from Racing Green and had no probs. But I've bought TVR parts from RacetechDirect without probs and suggest that, if you haven't already, you report this to them as guess they will want to investigate and make good if they have been supplied a faulty batch..... essential parts failing well ahead of expectation is hardly good for business! Hard to see otherwise why two should fail so quickly unless wrong fluid used and/or somehow they came loose and developed excess play.
Sometimes this sort of thing can be a bad batch from the manufacturer, and simply nothing to do with the supplier.
Tell them what has happened - the more people report back the more likely they are to realise they have an issue and do something about it.
I had a totally unconnected thing happen back in about 2016. NOT Racetech.
My TVR expert decided my plug extenders looked shabby (1999 originals) so swapped them for a new set at service time.
I had six of the new set fail during the next six months.
I was not alone in this, it was a bad batch (or a batch of fakes) that had found their way into the stock of a most reputable TVR supplier.
They were interested, replaced without question, and did something about their supply.
