hello,
cool, i don't know what i'm going to do with the car (it's also kinda rusty now and goes through oil at absurd rates) but a slave cyl is not too expensive.. i'm sorting out what i'm going to do about a car.. since now i don't have any running vehicles (and two 240D's off the road.. the POS from darrell that still wants about $1000 in work to pass inspection, and my til-now trusty but rusty blue car), but if replacing the cylinder ain't too bad a job i might give that a try. thanks for the tip aboutnot messing with the adjustment nut... :) gregg aka isildur On Mon, 1 Aug 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Gregg, > > Catching up on digest - forgive if repeating info. > > I recently replaced the master clutch cylinder to repair a similar casualty. > Remember, there is a slave cylinder at the other end of the pipe, that > translates the pressure from the master cylinder into motion to move the > through-out bearing.
