master cylinder
failed inspection the other day at a hole in the wall place because of a "leaking master cylinder"
how long should a master cylinder in these cars last? I've only got 36k on the car so I was surprised.

From what i understand (which isn't much) its not uncommon for them to leak right?
I'm not familiar with the garage and it seemed like a conflict of interests on their part. I'm just curious if it would be strange to have to replace the part this early before I fork over $344 for it.
I'll just keep checking the fluid and get another inspection somewhere else for now.

That's the installed price from the place that inspected me...they list the part at $225.41
The shop is in Austin. I didn't know this was a part of inspection either...it seems a little fishy to me.

you can get a wilwood master cylinder or a hi performance master cylinder for around 70-130 bux from www.jegs.com. i have one on my car and it blows the stock one away.
