A larger master cylinder bore will increase pedal pressure. Pedal pressure to move my RAM pressure plate and single disc clutch has always been leg strengthening. Two months ago I replaced my .75" Girling clutch master cylinder, with a .625" Girling. The pedal effort is now substantially easier.

A Google search on the subject of master cylinder sizes will substantiate my statement. Here is one of them.

Since the slave is easy to replace does the same rationale apply to the slave bore size except in the opposite direction larger makes pedal easier.

Summing it up a 1/8 reduction in master cylinder or a 1/8 increase in slave cylinder will reduce pedal pressure by approximately 16% . Question are either solution the same or is one better than the other. The slave is way easier to change than master.

Does anyone know the part number for a slave clutch that has a 7/8 inch bore and bolts right on ?
