Normally when you switch to DOT 5 you will need to reseal both the master and slave cylinders with compatible DOT5 seals. The same is true if you went the other way. And don't forget to thoroughly clean out the lines, any traces of the old fluid can cause problems. It is probably best to replace the hose with a new one while your doing it.
