Re: [DML] Brake Problem

Let me clarify. I assumed you had good fluid or had changed it recently. If 
so this problem would probably indicate the master cylinder is failing. Call 
Rob Grady or your parts supplier. I am sure they will tell you it is not 
uncommon to discover a 20 year old master cylinder MAY be going bad. 
Especially if you recently changed the fluid. This could show a bad seal 
which may have been hidden previously by bad or gummed up brake fluid.

<< I recently experienced the exact same symptoms. They are not uncommon and 
usually mean the master cylinder is failing. I would replace it before it 
gives out completely at the wrong time. I replaced mine with one from PJ 
Grady. Works fantastic and is adjustable for desired pedal height.

<< Hello List, My Girlfriend and I were driving around this weekend looking 
at
houses in several different neighborhoods. After spending a half hour or
hour stopping and going, on the brakes off the brakes etc. the brake peddle
was starting to get "squishy"...it would almost touch the floor. Before the
trip I had a good firm peddle. After waiting for just a couple of minutes
the firm peddle would come back, but after some more stop and go it would
get squishy again. My first thought is that there may be moisture in the
system that is either getting hot or "boiling" causing this condition. Any
Thoughts?
