Clutch problems
 
Hi im.having some issues with my car I have a.2006 chevy cobalt ss 2.4 and I had put in a stage 2 proformance excdy clutch in it and my clutch had got stuck in so I took out the old master clutch cylinder and put in a new one and as I was installing it the pressure of the clutch had broke it what can I do is there a aftermarket master clutch cylinder?

If your question is "has someone made a stronger master clutch cylinder" then my answer would be that I doubt it. Did you get a new one and break that one too?

Yeah I just installed it and and as I was stepping on the clutch so it could get pressure in it the master clutch cylinder pop out and it broke in half I have a stage 2 excdy clutch in it they said the pressure of the clutch is to much for the master clutch cylinder

Its probably not the master cylinder itself. I had a similar issue with my act clutch. the steel plate that holds the master cylinder in place was broken. It has 2 tabs that are only about 1/16" thick and they tend to bend and break when you put a heavier clutch in. Id check those tabs and see how they look. That is if your master cylinder doesnt look broken

Are you turning it a 3/4 turn when instqlling it?

Yeah I think the plate is broken just looked at it so I'm guessing I would need a new one

The plate is available at crate engine depot if you plan to do it yourself. You have to pull out the entire dash to access it though. Theres a thread somewhere on here of a quick fix, but i dont remember what it was. If i had this issue again, i would probably rig something up to work,

Goto crate engine depot website, look for cobalt trans stuff.

It's there.

How in the world did you go from clutch master cylinder broke in half to needing a new firewall plate?

For the record the clutch master cylinder that oreilly's sells is STEEL. Yes you read right, it's made from metal.

EDIT: *The one for the LNF is metal and I presume that all Cobalts take the same one.
