Default Clutch Cylinder

I have gone through one remote clutch master cylinder and now it looks like I have another one bad. I tried bleeding it today and like my old one I found aluminum particles in the fluid. My clutch pedal gets harder and harder to push esspecially when it gets warm. I checked the slave cylinder and it seems fine. The particles in the fluid are definately from the master. The geometery/linkage seems fine on both the pedal to master cylinder and slave cylinder to clutch fork. I did recently notice my clutch fork rubbing my frame so I filed that so it no longer rubs. Could this have taken out my qty-2 master cylinders?? If so how could that be? You can jam on your brake pedal and not hurt a thing.

I have a rebuild kit on its way but I am in fear I will only get another 1000 or less miles out of this one. The last mater cylinder I put in was brand new. I figured this time I will just rebild it.

Any ideas??

Thanks....

Mike
