I have no idea. The seals looked absolutely fine on the very last CMC I took apart, and there was silicone lubricant residue that was pretty much all at the end of the CMC and around the rubber plunger seal. Seeing as how it contaminated into the clutch fluid, how would you appropriately and adequately lubricate the CMC?
I’ve also flushed the hydraulic system many a times before, and also on the time that I swapped in the new stainless steel clutch line. It definitely is something odd… The new CMC has been doing fine, but I’ve been weary about it and watching the clutch pedal closely, as always…
I figured the brake fluid would technically lubricate the seals and whatnot, although I noticed friction around the plunger. I didn’t know if running something dry like that or without some form of lubricant, would cause excess wear and tear?
