I am having problems with my MC-1 and MC-3 Matco's dragging, getting hot and 

locking up. I cleaned and rebuilt them and after 10 hours the same thing 

happened. Are the new Matco's any better? The machine work on the insides 

were of poor quality when I rebuilt them.   Jerry Poe

Jerry I had to clearance my peddles where the clevis connected to the master 

cyl.  The cylinders need to extend all the way in both deflections of the 

rudder.  Mine bound in ceartain positions.  Ron NB Ore

Jerry,



The early Matco's when the passenger brakes were also installed used to lock 

up in the event pressure was applied to both sides simultaneously.  To 

unlock, they had to be bled at the caliper.  Don't know if this is the 

problem.

I have my passenger brakes removed, however matco has a simple fix for this 

problem, when talked to them at Oshkosh.

Make sure that the master cylinders extend to full open.

Had the same problem. Had to shorten the shaft on both

master cylinders. Matco will tell you that they have to open all the

way or you will have a lock.

Thanks for the info. They did seem to have this problem when my kid was 

taking lessons. The instructor was probably hitting the brakes at the same 

time. I'm going to try using new MC-5's on the left side only. No need for 

brakes on the right side. Thanks,     Jerry Poe
