Gang,
So, I meet "Jungle" Jim Klein who happened to be in town for some real fun,
and we did a couple not too taxxing runs up & down rte.53. Very nice. After
I say good bye, half way home clutch goes down to floor, which seems to
indicate broken slave cylinder.
So, now the car sits at dealer and I wonder whether to just change the slave
cylinder, or slave and master cylinder? Is this a job I could do myself?
Should I have it towed the remaining 8 miles to my real mechanic?
My guess is that our little fun stressed the weak links, hastening failure.
Also coincidently, drivers side window wont go up or down. Motor runs but
window can only be moved by hand. Did it slip off a track?
How hard to fix this?
BTW it was great to meet JK & I'm real glad car didnt fail while he was
motoring:)
& Thanks to Bob Pastore whom I located from my roadside position while he was
at the ice cream store.
Informed me it's the slave cylinder & I could drive it, but the tow truck was
already behind me.
TIA for the help.
Cheers'
