works great! thanks again.
if your still looking for a master cylinder,you might want to look for a newer model(2001-?) the only thing thats different is the sensor.you just swap the sensor from your older cylinder,and from what im told there suppose to have fixed the issue with the newer brakebooster...

Definitely get an 01+. I bought mine off of ebay used for about $300 with about 70k on it. Buy from reputable source as well. I haven't installed mine yet, waiting to find somebody to help me out in NJ to put it in and swap the sensor, plus bleed the brake system after.

Good luck...

Look around in your local junkyards. Some have it as low as $300-350, very rarely. It is usually common to find them around $400-500 range if it's from a newer low mileage car. I'll see if I can source another one next time I'm out there. I'll let you know if I do.

. Putting it in is simple. But I don't know how to swap the sensors

I've searched all the junkyards in the bay. None. If I don't find 1 I might have to sell my car. And I don't want to do that cuz I have alot of parts for it that hasn't been installed
