has anyone had to replace the brake servo behing the master cly. i was just thinking i don't want to change the master cly only to find out it's the servo instead. i don't have any leaks ( and not losing fluid) but as a go to apply the the brake i get a prshhhhh sound almost like air is coming out where the brake pedal attaches to the push rod. so to stop i have to pump the pedal to get the presure back. does this sound like the master cly or could the servo be going as well. BCX7 is the tr\ts 4cly servo the same aswell?

I'd go with the Master-Vac "brake servo behing the master cly", sounds like the internal valve is jamming

well after not getting many answers i turned my house upside down , and found the manual i then did the 2 tests to the servo and it was working fine. i then went a got a 4cly tr\ts master cly like bcx7 had mentioned, installed it and bled out the old fluid .then replaced it with dot 3,4,5 compatible super performance fluid , and bled the air out , no more problems after that. it feels like a different car to pull up, the pedal is sooo firm now , almost gotta squease the brakes on now , if i pushed it like with the old cly i'd lock the wheels up for sure. makes u feel sooo much safer, plus having new pads and dics help:D
good to hear...
was the same was for me... the pedal could sink to the floor and the car didn't feel like it was gonna stop
now it'll lock up the front 2.
