Main clutch cylinder?

[Nookie]

Hello
Got a problem now with my hachi Clutch fluid is leaking into the interrior through the main clutch cylinder as I understand (that one, near the pedals) . I had same situation about half a year ago, but clutch cylinder repair kit solved my problem. When I took that cylinder out of my car I was told, that it is in bad condition, and the repair kit will help only for a year (that's maximum)...
So, it happened again, and now i want to change that cylinder. Today I visited few japan-cars parts shops, and there were no such part as "main clutch cylinder" for 84` corolla GT (very rare car here ) Maybe there are any clutch cylinder from other car (ae92? ae82? celicas?), that suits for ae86?

Try Ebay...you can often find stuff like that at okay prices there..

Yeah, found exhatcly what I need. But there is one point, that I don't like:

Quote:Application:
Toyota Corolla Rwd
8/1985 - 7/1987

My hachi is a bit older... Made on 1984. Will it fit? (I think it should..)

[Ivan141]

Yes...it should fit without problems afaik.. The original kouki item even has a better design.

Perhaps we can manage to source it through the shop as well.

The guy on US ebay is selling OEM Toyota branded BRAKE master cylinders to suit LHD cars (brake line outlet on the nose goes upwards). They have the Toyota casting ground off. Possibly same story with the clutch masters.

When you cant find the part you need (without toyota ripping you a new asshole with their prices), the fact that something is not OEM suddenly loses a lot of relevance.

If it's the original kouki toyota item, it should have an inline bushing in the pushrod (a cilindrical metal casing), the housing is also slightly different.

I bought a quality replacement clutch master cylinder just recently, and
it was manufactured in FRANCE !!!! Exact replacement, and works just
like OEM, for only 25% of the Toyota price

When I bought the brake master off that guy, it only cost me USD$85 landed in Australia. Then I stripped it and installed all the seals, rods, springs, fluid reservoir etc into my MC body, only because I have a brake MC stopper which would not work with the USDM MC (which is a little shorter).

In Australia, if you can find a kit or replacement MC, they are very expensive and that isn't from Toyota.

I believe the left and right hand drive clutch masters are identical in configuration so I would happily get one of the US ebay guy in future as his service was great and the product obviously perfect.
