Man, I just can't win can I. Coming home from the Patriots game on Sunday my clutch master cylinder decides to pop out of the pedal bracket (98 Rangers use an MC that clicks into the pedal bracket instead of bolting to the firewall).
So I popped it back it, and it keeps twisting and unlocking out of place, as if the little divots bored into the bracket aren't enough to hold the MC in place. You're supposed to put in the MC in, and turn it 45 degrees so that the corners of the square flange on the MC lock into the divots on the bracket.
So, I mangaged to drill through the pedal bracket and through the MC backing plate and I put a bolt through it. Seems to work well. However, I'm confused what is causing my MC to unlock and pop out of the bracket...I'm starting to wonder if the line is not the right one and it's causing the MC to twist improperly.
Luckily I knew exactly what happened; I was leaving Gilette Stadium in rush hour traffic on a hill when it popped out. I reached under the brake booster and popped it back into place.
You guys have any ideas? Thanks.
