Hey guys, i just recently got my master cylinder replaced due to a leak and also had my car serviced. Since then my 3rd gear has been acting weird. When i hit about 2.5-3k the revs drop a bit for like 1 second and return to normal like it the clutch was slipping. Since its only happeneing with this gear and maybe 4th i dont think its the clutch. Any ideas. Thanks for the help in advance

Cheers

The master cylinder is relevant to brakes...i think the vacuum tube that goes to the inlet manifold is loose or not connected properly?

take it back to the plae you got the stuff changed at. Its apparent this "problem" has only happened since they looked at it...

okies - possibly air in the clutch system. Perhaps flush the clutch fluid out with new fluid ~ or check that the new cylinder isnt leaking
