Clutch master cylinder difference in turbo/na model?

Ok so I believe my clutch master cylinder has failed, the resivour was dry so I added new fluid, however the fluid does not move at all in the resivour when the clutch is pumped... Clutch is still spongy and sticks from time to time. I know that air is in the lines and the system needs to be evacuated and refilled.

Anyways my question is there any difference in master cycinder between a TII or an NA? I don't see why there would be but it never hurts to ask.

I'm betting it's your clutch line.

I am in the process of replacing my clutch. My N/A vert has 155,000 mi. I am certain it is the original clutch, line, slave and master. My theory is to replace everything I touch, so I bought rebuild kit for the slave and master cyl from Oriellies for $25 total and a stainless line from Mazdatrix.


Look at how bad the clutch line is aged. It broke just taking it out.

Brake lines must be right behind as well.

I agree. I've just replaced the original hose with the SS line from Mazdatrix and I spent an extra $30 (for the master & slave cylinder rebuild kits + fluids) to replace everything. Now the clutch feels much better and this was a sure and very cheap way to fix my problem.

Clutch master's, no difference between NA and TII across 2nd Gens.

Clutch slaves, very much different between NA and TII.

Why not rebuild it? Pretty easy cheap and effective.
