Just received my new ATE Master Cylinder from Gary for my 85 300D. $119.00
delivered to my front door in three days. My Indy ruined mine when I had him
install rear ATE calipers and pads.(From Gary) He flushed system and renewed
fluid while tearing up seals. :( They seem to figure out a way to keep me
coming back. Probably should have done it myself but was feeling a bit lazy
and he was working on an AC leak anyway. Oh well, it's only money....

That is the classic symptom of master cylinder failing.
Fluid getting past the main seals.
Often, if you move the pedal hard and fast it will still
"catch" and once there is pressure the seals usually seal. A
slow, gentle press will allow the pedal to sink to the floor.

I failed to find a kit. But I did not check with Classic
Center. And I have 123s, not 115s.

Rusty.
Oh yeah. *sigh*
I'll bet Dan will say "a dealer". I would try to figure out
the brand of the OEM (Bendix? ATE? Or is that just slaves?)
and then use RockAuto, AutohauseAZ, FLAPs, etc.
