Casey Putsch talking about friend's F-type MT master cylinder failure.


Considering he ought to know what he is talking about, what was that about master cylinder failing on MT F-type? I never heard about master cylinder being mated directly to a transmission, is this the case? Also what about master seal failure workaround with pumping clutch? Why would this work?

This story just doesn't add up to me. His friend probably had a 1st gen clutch explode. Anyone has another opinion?

 

Ironically I just discovered this channel today. Saw his "top 6 cool cars not yet over valued by snobs" video, and the tour of his viper. This video is next on my playlist.

Initial impression is very good - comes off as "real talk", not just the usual derivative, repetitive puff n fluff that you get on a lot of car channels. Charismatic dude.

 

Sounds legit to me.
He reckons it was the manual trans slave cylinder, not the master cylinder, big difference.
But he did make a major boo-boo at around the 8.30 mark where he said it was a V8. Surely someone who knows his cars and/or did some basic research would know it could not be a V8!

 

A real windbag. My attention faded 4 minutes into the F-Type discussion.
