hi. I was just wondering if anyone would know why my brake pedal travels when it's warm out but cold it feels solid? there are no leaks and the air has been bled from it. the pedals travels very far before the brakes kick in and I'm not sure what's causing it. the brake hardware is pretty new. I replaced it a few months ago. and in the summer the car will stop but if I sit there the pedal will slowly go to the floor unless I pump it. whats up? oh yeah they are all drum brakes also. any help is greatly appreciated. thanks. nick ........................... Nick, If you have a warrenty on the master cylinder, there,s a 99% chance that is the problem. When its cold it is just a matter of physics. The fluid has a higher viscosity, the cylinder bore gets a little smaller. That adds up to a little better seal. Change the master cylinder again! Have you checked the fluid level lately? good luck, Ken
