Subject: Clutch Woes - Part Deux

Date: Thu, 10 Jul 1997 18:53:04 -0800



Hey Everybody!



Just got back from a week and a half in Park City, Utah. Did a lot of

hiking and sightseeing. (Very pretty) Cracked a rib mountain biking the

hellacious singletrack of Deer Valley. (Ouch!) Rode the "Rocket" down the

Olympic Bob/Luge track. (Yowza!) And came back to find the Pantera

unwilling to shift into first or reverse. (Damn!)



After some fiddling with the clutch slave adjustment, it goes into first

kinda begrudgingly. It goes into reverse if I slam it. (Not good.) And it's

really resistant in the other gears. Like something needs to be lubricated

or oiled or something.



Any thoughts out there before I call in the troops? Does the shifter

housing need to be oiled or something? Where do I look/check/fill? Does the

clutch master cylinder need to be filled up? To that embossed line around

the outside of the plastic housing?



I can't find anything about these things in the shop manual.



Help!

P.S. Is Mike Cook on vacation or something? He hasn't returned my call from

two weeks ago.
