Yes Master, Good Slave, temp sensitive clutch problems

[John Larson]

IME, what you are seeing is a master cylinder failure.  A careful look at
the boot up under the dash MAY show signs of leakage, but I've seen plenty
w/o any external signs.  HTH, John



The Patient is an 88 5ktq.  After receiving a new slave last year, the peda=
l still often needs to be pulled halfway off the floor between every shift.=
  When it is cool in the morning, the clutch operates fine, but yesterday w=
hen the temperature rose above 80F degrees, I just about lost my pedal.  Pe=
ople have been saying that I should replace my master cylinder, but it does=
n't leak.  Is there a chance that it could be the hose that connects the sl=
ave to the master (bondage?)?  Or is it just that my master is so shot that=
 there is massive blowby whenever things get warm??

Thanks,
