This is the Mopar OEM master cylinder for the 2013-2016 Dodge Dart. This unit fits ALL MANUAL TRANSMISSION Dodge Darts.

The Master cylinder bolts to the firewall and connects to the clutch pedal. When you depress the clutch, hydraulic fluid is transferred through the clutch hydraulic line towards the slave cylinder in the transmission to depress the clutch. If your master cylinder goes bad, you could possibly see fluid leaking around the seal, and or have clutch engagement problems/inconsistencies. If you are replacing your clutch and you have a good amount of mileage (ie, 80-100k miles or more) on your original master cylinder, its a good idea to replace yours to be proactive.

Note: the Dart has a unique hydraulic system in that the clutch hydraulics and the braking system share the same fluid and reservoir. Most other cars have separate systems for brake and clutch hydraulics. So when replacing clutch hydraulics, we highly recommend flushing the braking system to make sure all old, burnt up oil with debris is flushed out and doesnt contaminate the new clutch hydraulics. We have heard from customers in the past that replaced hydraulics several times and it makes us wonder how many of them had brake fluid that was cooked and used for 120k miles that destroyed the clutch hydraulics.
