Well, since I've done some stuff to my car the stock clutch doesn't want to hold right anymore. It still holds, but it won't if once I finish. So, as a preventative measure, I want a bigger master cylinder to disengage my stage 3 clutch. I had it in for awhile, but the stock master cylinder wouldn't open it enough to switch gears super smooth. So I took it out and put a stock back in. Now I want it us it, but I have to get something to make it work. So, for you gear heads, what can I do? How can I increase pressure to the slave cylinder and make this clutch work. This might be a nice brake upgrade too. Let me know guys. If no one has any ideas, I'll just go yank one off a Tacoma and see how close it is.

sounds like either your master or slave cylinder is bad, theres little seals in them on the pistons. over time those seals harden and leak or they get flipped over the wrong way (its a cup seal the expands with fluid pressure to make a tighter seal with higher pressures)
