Because the Vanagon uses a hydraulic clutch system rather than a cable, the master cylinder is the heart of your shifting capability. Over time, internal bypass leaks can occur where the pedal travels to the floor but the clutch doesn't actually disengage—installing a new master cylinder solves this safety hazard immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThis unit is designed to work with all manual transmission Wasserboxer and Diesel engines. It is a precision-machined component that must be kept free of contaminants to ensure the internal piston moves smoothly without scoring the cylinder walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Vanagon (Manual Transmission \u0026amp; Syncro):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNose-Cone Location:\u003c\/b\u003e Mounts directly to the pedal assembly under the dashboard for easy access during maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDurable Housing:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed to resist the high-cycle fatigue of daily driving and frequent shifting in heavy transporter applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBrake Fluid Compatible:\u003c\/b\u003e Utilizes specialized EPDM rubber components compatible with standard DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 251-721-401ADK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBore Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 19.05mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-duty metal housing with rubber dust boot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eApplication:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.6L Diesel, 1.9L, and 2.1L engines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe \"Vanagon Lean\":\u003c\/b\u003e Bleeding the Vanagon clutch can be tricky because the master cylinder sits higher than the slave.
