The fluid level in the master stays constant and there are no leaks.  I rep=
laced the hose when I replaced the slave

58 MGA.  Had a lot of trouble getting the clutch slave to bleed; even using=
 a syringe to push brake fluid up the line.  I was able to get it working f=
or a few minutes several times before it quit working.  the car never did l=
eave the garage.

Replaced the clutch slave with one from a quality supplier, and got it to w=
ork for a few weeks.  But then it again failed to disengage the clutch.  Ca=
r was on jack stands the whole time.  was finally going to drop it and driv=
e it around the block but no clutch.

Should I replace the master?  It and the original slave came from unmention=
able motors before I found out how poor their quality is.
