EXEDY MC569 Clutch Master Cylinder

During maintenance, we found that the O ring on the cylinder was missing. As soon as I installed it, I discovered that it was leaking because the o ring was missing. I had to remove it. Having to reuse an old o ring from my old cylinder was a necessity. O Ring is not reusable. Part then failed completely in less than a year thanks to the sheer strength of one of the three bolts holding the unit together. After my first replacement failed in less than a year, I got a second one that also failed.

On my 2006 Honda Civic si, I had two failures of this part. It took each less than five months to fail.

My Honda Civic si was also made in 2006, and when my original clutch failed in 2016, I had no idea I could replace my master cylinder on my own. As a result of my decision to let my local garage do the work for over $500, I learned a hard lesson. However, for over a year, the clutch would get soft and the system would leak fluid intermittently. I started hearing a creak when I engaged the device, and then it would not engage at all. Then, on December 17, 2018, it stopped engaging altogether. In the past six months, I've replaced the fluid and pumped it up to get it working, but last week (4/11/19) it totally failed. When I asked what my options were the shop told me I was basically out of luck, but they could fix it again. In reality, I had noticed it was not the same since they repaired it, grinding gears, erratic feel, etc. Yeah, it really is. So I consulted Dr. YouTube, and a few days ago I got the new "46925-" The TA0-scale Listed below is part number "A02", which is the genuine Honda replacement part (available In the pictures I posted, you can see what I observed when I retrieved the failed cylinder from the car. There is a possibility that either the bolts in this super cheap part are of extremely low quality or they had been over-tightened. At the factory, the screw was tightened. As a result of the bolt head popping off, the unit was basically open to the atmosphere and was leaking heavily. Having taken things apart and put them back together in a half day, I can tell you A difference of thousands of percent I think it actually shifts now like it is brand new. The lesson learned is that if you are paying someone to do the work, insist on quality parts. In the event that you have the time and luxury to do it yourself, don't opt for That's a huge risk to take on something so crucial.
