Re: Clutch Position Sensor

Where can I find one of these sensors, and how hard are they to replace?

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!
The replacement is a royal pain in the ass. The sensor rides on the rod of the master cylinder and it is not replaceable by itself. You will have to replace the whole master cylinder. It is buried up in the dash and the only way to replace it is removing the brake master, which requires a special tool then crawling up under the dash. If you are not an advanced wrench I would highly recommend having it professionally replaced. Good luck
