The clutch master cylinder generates hydraulic pressure when the clutch pedal is pressed, transferring this pressure through brake fluid to the slave cylinder. The slave cylinder then uses this pressure to disengage the clutch, allowing for gear shifts.

Yes, it is recommended to replace both the master and slave cylinders simultaneously, as failure of one often precedes failure of the other.

If the clutch master cylinder fails, it may leak brake fluid, leading to insufficient hydraulic pressure. This can cause the clutch pedal to go all the way to the floor, making it difficult to shift gears.

Symptoms include a "notchy" feel to the clutch pedal, difficulty shifting gears, and the clutch pedal not returning fully.

Common causes include corrosion, broken rubber seals, and debris on the pressure plate.
