[s-cars] Bill's clutch

[jimk at spotgraphicsinc.com]

Geez Bill, if you'd told me to take it easy on the old girl, I would
have been glad to :-)  Anyway, I had fun driving your car and it was
great to meet another of the S-contingent.  I'm just glad that nothing
happened WHILE I was driving it, could have been a bit awkward.....Hope
it all works out for you.
By the way, I was under the impression that you'd taken out all the
window glass to save weight, didn't realize it just didn't work....

Subject: [s-cars] Clutch Slave Cylinder

--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
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'
