Subject: If I only had a clutch

Date: 	Sun, 5 Oct 1997 10:19:02 +0000



Actually my dragging clutch problem became quite clear today, as there was a

half quart of brake fluid on my garage floor. After hunting around I traced

at least one leak to the fitting between the slave cylinder and the

hydraulic line. I now have everything apart again and a new fitting coming

tomorrow. Too bad, while I had everything apart I painted the slave cylinder

bracket, the arm, and a bunch of other things back there. People weren't

kidding when they said brake fluid is any excellent paint remover...  I also

have a leak somewhere in the front, but am going to tackle them one at a time. 



What was happening was that I would push in on the clutch, it would

disengage, then the fluid would leak out, slowly engaging the clutch.
