Default Clutch rod....not good...need experts!

I think my Integra is finally wearing down with the clutch master. At 137,000 miles she needs help. The clutch has been replaced, but I noticed that has not fixed the difficulty in shifting into gears. I looked above the foot pedals and found some fuild is slowly leaking. Any thoughts on what needs to be done here are appreciated. Thank you!

Integra's are prone to leaky clutch master cylinders. They can be replaced in about 20 minutes. :thumbup: Fix that problem and you'll stop the leak. You may not be getting enough pressure to engage/disengage the clutch.

I found a replacement part from a company called Adler. Has anyone purchased this? Is it reliable as an OEM part?
Thank you.

Found my own answer.

"Adler, Nissin and NTP OEM hydraulic products are known for their durability and proper fit. This is the only master cylinder you want to put on Hondas."

Easy installation instructions as provided by my lovely Helms!

1) Remove the brake fluid from the clutch master cylinder reservoir with a syringe.
2) Disconnect the clutch pipe and reservoir hoses from the clutch master cylinder.
3) Pry out the cotter pin, and pull the pedal pin out of the yoke. Remove the nuts (2).
4) Remove the clutch master cylinder
Note: Do not spill brake fluid on the clutch master cylinder damper.
5) Install the clutch master cylinder in the reverse order of removal.
Note: Bleed the clutch hydraulic system

Torque specs:
Clutch Pipe: 11lb-ft
Nuts (2): 9lb-ft
