CSC or Master cylinder.? ...and which flywheel/clutch kit to buy

Pktaske · 05-09-2023, 02:15 PM

96k on my 2009 and the pedal is not coming up without assistance. Can't get in in a low gear at all. Rode home last night in 5th gear, avoided lights and coasted into driveway.

I'm assuming this is the CSC...but is it possibly the Master? I read through many pages of the sticky but its so looong. Any quick way to check MC vs CSC? There is lots of fluid still in my reservoir in case anyone was wondering.

With almost 100k, I'm probably going in for a clutch anyway so - which kit should I get? its a DD and I don't plan to track. I do, however, beat the hell out of it on the street.

Thx...Nick

If the pedal is not coming up, then it's the CSC. If the pedal is coming up and you're only experiencing fluid loss, then it's the CMC. But, replace both, as well as the clutch/flywheel.

Go with ZSpeed.

Just did the Zspeed ez-street C/FW and CMACK. Great upgrade but be aware of light weight flywheel noise if you go that route.
