Help keep clutch engagement smooth and predictable with the SACHS clutch master cylinder, part number SH5036. It converts the effort at your clutch pedal into the hydraulic pressure used to disengage the clutch. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1992-2000 Honda Civic, 1993-1997 Honda Civic Del Sol and 1983-1987 Honda Prelude. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, which use L4-1.5L, L4-1.6L and L4-1.8L engines.
Signs this part may need replacing include a soft or spongy clutch pedal, a pedal that slowly sinks or does not return, difficulty getting into gear, or fluid seeping around the cylinder. If a failing master cylinder is the cause, SH5036 replaces it. Diagnose the hydraulic system first, because a leaking slave cylinder or line can produce the same symptoms.
Whether you are replacing a 1999 Civic clutch master cylinder or the unit in an older Prelude, bleed the clutch hydraulic system after installation. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct fluid and procedure.
Is this the right Honda Civic clutch master cylinder for my car?
SH5036 is listed for the 1992-2000 Honda Civic with the L4-1.5L (1992-1995) or L4-1.6L (1995-2000) engine. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
Will it replace the Prelude clutch master cylinder as well?

What does a clutch master cylinder do?
It converts the force from your clutch pedal into hydraulic pressure. It sends fluid through the line to the slave cylinder, which releases the clutch so you can shift gears.
What are signs the clutch master cylinder may need replacing?
Common signs include a soft or spongy pedal, a pedal that sinks or sticks, trouble shifting into gear, or fluid seeping near the cylinder. Diagnose the hydraulic system first, as a slave cylinder or line can cause the same.
Does the clutch need to be bled after installing it?
Yes. Bleed the clutch hydraulic system after installation, and follow the vehicle service information for the correct fluid type and procedure.
