[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 642394, member: 54263"] Grump, if the inner seals are worn inside the Master Cylinder, what you describe may happen. Here is how to test this. Drive it around a bit to get it to temperature. Come to a stop like you normally do, once stopped, instead of just resting your foot on the pedal like normal, press a bit harder like your still trying to stop for example. If the pedal moves down only a slight bit due to the extra pressure and does NOT move then try this. Come to a stop like normal, once stopped, relax the pedal a small amount and then reapply the pedal with a smooth light pressure. If it goes past the normal resting area and works its way to the floor you need a master cylinder. They fail fairly common in that general year area. I have changed HUNDREDS of then for customers.
