The master cylinder for my clutch that is.
My clutch has been getting lower and lower to the floor and the gears have been getting "sticky", especially when she's cold.
I took the LT4 to the dealership (I know, I know...bend over and grab my ankles) and they tell me I need a new master cylinder for the clutch. Then they call me back and say that it is a "factory direct" order and the factory is on back order and they can't tell me when they will even have one. Yikes!
I even called the local garage near work (they are an AC Delco distributor) and he said the same thing, no master cylinders to be had.
Is it just me to think that this is something that should be readily available? I mean the ZF six speed isnt that rare that there should be a shortage of parts.
I'll check some of the local "discount parts" outfits this weekend, but I just felt like ranting a bit and was just curious if anyone else has had any problems trying to find this part.
