GM Genuine Parts 55579997 Clutch Master Cylinder — for Buick and Chevrolet Models

A spongy or sticking clutch pedal, difficulty shifting gears, low clutch fluid level, or a clutch that fails to fully disengage — these are common signs that your clutch master cylinder is failing. The clutch master cylinder converts the mechanical force from the clutch pedal into hydraulic pressure, which is transmitted to the slave cylinder to disengage the clutch. A worn or leaking master cylinder can cause poor clutch operation, difficulty shifting, and potential damage to the transmission.

This is a factory-original GM clutch master cylinder (OE part number 55579997). It is a direct replacement component designed, engineered, and tested to rigorous standards and backed by General Motors. The cylinder features a plastic body with a 15.8 mm bore diameter. This is the same part sold at GM dealerships.

When to Replace

• Spongy or sticking clutch pedal
