Turn brake-pedal effort into the hydraulic pressure your brakes rely on with the Dorman - First Stop Brake Master Cylinder M39406. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1982-1983 Nissan Sentra and 1983-1984 Nissan Pulsar NX, stepping in for a worn or leaking original.
The master cylinder is the heart of the hydraulic brake system: when you press the pedal it forces fluid through the brake lines to the wheel brakes, and its internal seals hold that pressure so the pedal stays firm.

What does the Brake Master Cylinder M39406 do?
It converts brake-pedal force into hydraulic pressure and sends it through the lines to the wheel brakes; its internal seals hold that pressure so the pedal stays firm.
Which vehicles does it fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1982-1983 Nissan Sentra and 1983-1984 Nissan Pulsar NX. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your vehicle.
What are signs my master cylinder may need replacing?
A pedal that slowly sinks under steady pressure, a spongy or low pedal, or brake fluid leaking at the cylinder. Diagnose the cause first, since other parts can produce similar symptoms.
Should I bench-bleed it before installation?
Yes — bench-bleeding the master cylinder before installing helps purge trapped air for a firmer pedal. Follow your vehicle's service procedure.

Use the brake fluid type specified in your vehicle's service information.
