Eating clutch master

[Max777]

Ok, guys come on even rebuilt is stupid. The clutch master and slave are each around $50 brand new from Mazdatrix, why would you even consider rebuilt it it's roughly the same price? Working at a dealership for a while, I came to trust the quality of oem parts a lot more, after seeing so much aftermarket crap fail after only a few years, even months, on the road.

Agreed, but there are owners who insist on taking the "cheap" way out, right?
I've argued that for just a little bit more - I think the rebuild seal kits are like $20? - you can get a brand new Mazda OEM unit.
Different strokes for different folks...
