yes the master cylinder is bad.. This is easy to fix. Take the master cylinder off. Get a new one. then you will have to bench bleed the master cylinder to get the air out. Put the master cylinder back on completely and then bleed the brakes and clutch. No problem.How do you change master cylinder on a 1993 Ford Escort?
Well, the master cylinder should have fluid on one side of it. If you have fluid on both sides, then yes, it needs to be replaced. Before any maintenance job you plan to perform yourself, even if you are very good at working with cars, I would recomend a Chiltons or Haynes manual, preferably both. They contain information that you may overlook, and parts of a procedure that you may forget to do, which can end up saving you money because then you won't have to replace parts that you damaged trying to do it the wrong way.
