    Angry Awesome...

    Last week I replaced my clutch kit and slave cylinder. Today, the 3rd day running, my master cylinder popped out of the firewall making the clutch useless. I drove home without using the clutch and pulled the master cylinder to find the problem. Turns out the hole that the cyl locks into is broken and won't hold at all. Looks like the whole clutch pedal assembly will have to be replaced since that hole is actually part of it. I don't want to spend more money or time not driving it so I am thinking about JB weld or a screw or something similar. Do you guys think that will hold?

    Well just to get going for a while I used some "plastic weld" epoxy on it. I am going to look for a clutch pedal assembly this weekend when I get some time off work. Hopefully it holds.
