Every 9 months for the past few years my clutch pedal starts sticking and my gears become really stiff to use so i take it to garage and they replace the master cylinder and problem is solved but then same again happens 9 mths later. What could be causing master cylinder to keep breaking?

i also have a golf gt tdi 1.9 2002 and the same keeps happening to me. I have had the master cylinder replaced 4 times - aout every 9months to a year. Any more suggestions??

Thankyou very much gtwannabe - that sounds like a very possible solution to my problem.

you will need to ask again stating make and model of your car but 1st instinct is worn clutch pedal pivot or pivot bushes causing your pedal to push on master cylinder at an abnormal angle and damage the piston in your master cylinder
