[Rovernet] P6 clutch master cylinder

[Roger Matheson]

Hi Lance,

I believe the R/H manual V8's used a different master because of the 
proximity of a conventional unit to the exhaust manifold. As I recall it was 
mounted vertically on the firewall and was operated by a lever/ push rod 
contraption. On your L/H dive I assume the clutch master is on the left of 
the brake master and further away from the exhaust. This being the case then 
the conventional P6 manual master should work OK. Threading the actuating 
rod through the pedal box to locate it in the pedal is very difficult. I 
used a magnet built into a telescopic rod and a helper. I fully extended the 
telescope and pushed it through from the inside to the engine bay. My helper 
positioned the magnet on the end of the actuating rod and we very carefully 
threaded the master  into position. When the rod was through the pedal box I 
could grip it with my fingers and screw it into the pedal as the helper 
guided the master finally onto the studs in the engine bay. I suggest you 
use a flexible hose to the slave because you can disconnect the slave from 
the bell housing and bring it up into the engine bay with the bleed screw 
uppermost. Make a wooden plunger and clamp to keep the piston as far into 
the housing as possible. Use your helper to bleed the system by the 
conventional two person method. I have found that this method works very 
well and you end up with a great pedal. Ensure that you give the helper all 
the credit for success and a significant reward

Cheers Roger in Oz

Hi All,


Would appreciate information on resources where I can find a new clutch 
master cylinder for my 3500S conversion to manual.  The Kiwi who sold me the 
Celica Supra 5 speed transmission/conversion kit indicated I should try to 
find an "orginal Rover" master cylinder.  I'm hoping that means that the 
Rover clutch master cylinder would be the same if it were from a 2000, 2200 
or European 3500 manual?


Thanks in advance for any help.
