After laboring over my clutch master cylinder and carefully bleeding the hell out of it, i'm left with a clutch that loses pressure if i let the pedal come up completely. As far as I can tell it's due to a defective master cylinder- it's one of those 29.99 advance auto specials with no markings on its crappy cast body.
It seems that when pressed from full "up" position the fluid level rises in the reservoir rather than being forced into the slave cylinder as intended.
So while I should be able to do the next clutch master fairly rapidly, i'd rather that be the last one for awhile.
My options appear to be:
quadratec- 69 bucks claims to be "OEM"
Napa- don't know the price but I imagine they'll have one in stock.
ebay "mopar OEM new old stock" for around 42 dollars- Should I be worried about the seals drying out from sitting around? This seems to be the best deal...
ACdelco from rock auto for 66 dollars
various others also available at this link

or a rebuild kit from Rockauto-
dorman, raybestos or off brand http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1179996,parttype,2000
The cylinder i pulled out seems to be of high quality- probably original- it says "japan" on the side. I haven't popped out the snap ring to inspect it. I replaced it due to a small amount of fluid leaking into the cabin above my fuse box which concerned me. Is a cylinder of this quality even available?
The jeep is driveable like this, but I'd like to get it sorted asap.
