Master Cylinder "Paradox" maybe?

Thanks Steve. I don't dispute anything in your response, but my basic question remains...

If grungy Master Cylinders are as prevalent as the warnings here seem to suggest, then why can't I find similar warnings anywhere else?

I'd think they should be just as common in other car populations and every repair manual. But so far I haven't found the problem even mentioned anywhere except here on the BrickBoard. That strikes me as extremely strange, so I changed the Subject line.

The only conclusion I can draw is that the problem has perhaps been more emphasized here (due to the nature of the forum?) than in the general car repair world — which goes back into the 1950s and earlier in my books.
