>Ok, as some of you know, I took my Vanagon (81) in today to have the leaky >brake master cylinder replaced. However, the shop called and said it was >the clutch master cylinder. Now, where is that located? Is it under the >dash too? Yes. In fact, it is the only one you can see with the dash put together. Look down on the floor forward (FIF) of the pedals. Look up a bit. See the clutch master cylinder mounted there vertically, with a hydraulic pipe out of one end and a braided brake fluid supply hose on the other side. The brake master cylinder is located directly beneath the fluid reservoir. The clutch and brake master cylinder share the same fluid reservoir. The hose on the right side of the reservoir goes down to the clutch master cylinder.
