My problem went from driveable to impossible in about 2 days. It got to the point where the clutch would barely engage at all. It only cost me $175 to fix. Depends on the problem though, I was lucky enough to not need a new master cylinder, my tech only used the kit made for this problem to fix it. I understand that the master cylinder itself isn't that expensive anyway, maybe another $150. Alan E.
