Bear in mind, if the master cylinder rear seals are bad, where did the fluid go?? You guessed it, into the power brake booster, if equipped. Before you buy ANYTHING, take the thing all apart and see what is bad and what is good. If there is fluid in the booster, it needs to be replaced, and the master cylinder rebuildt/replaced. If you are going to go to the trouble of taking it all apart anyway, plan on replacing the proportioning valve as well. Just my $.02.

no power booster
hey thanks for the replys guys, but my car does not have power brakes
is it possible that the master cyl. is just bypassing fluid within itself ??
because as i said ther are no external leaks anywhere
