So I'm in search of a better clutch master cyl. I'm so tired of replacing once every year or two, is gere not an aftermarket one or maybe one from another car that will work? So frustrating
Gata be something better

Try using a factory toyota one.
Also don't hold the clutch in for long periods of time and don't only press it down half way.
I've been using the same clutch master for 6 years and it was already on the car when I bought it.

You must be getting bad master cylinders or you've got a really bad habit that's killing them.
fix one or both of those and it should last a long time.

I would try Toyota also if you are having a problem with aftermarket ones. I've had my AutoZone one for three years now and it is fine. I didn't even think about getting one from Toyota when I got mine, but so far so good.
Why do you say to not hold the clutch for long periods of time and not to press it down half way? I'm just curious.

It wears the seals by holding it down.
Iirc it's bad for the pressure plate by only partially pushing it down. Also clutch if it slipping.

Don't need one from a dealer, just get an aisin one (aisin is the OEM supplier and a much lower cost)

I didn't know that about the seals, that's good to know. That makes sense with pushing it only halfway that it would be bad for everything, not just the master cylinder.
Well it's not me I don't think, I've had manual all my life and Supras for the majority if it, this isn't my only one currently it's just the only one that goes out this fast, I feel like it may be because it's rhd and it's right above exhaust, I may replace and make some kinda heat shield but the Aisin is good advice, if I go the factory route it's what I'll use but I wanted something a little better if such a creature existed
The rhd drive cars have heat shields. That would have been important to know. Heat from the exhaust is likely cooking the seals.

I use this on my car currently. It seems to be working great.

Customs how do you mount that? And yea I don't have the heat shield, it was removed at some point, I'll hafta do something about it

The master cylinder came with my SPEC super twin. It has an adaptor plate to make the factory holes work.

I am now seeing that unless you want to contact SPEC and attempt to get this master cylinder from them, you will need to make it work with an adaptor plate of your own.
