[s-cars] Is there an adjustment on the clutch slave?

[Steve Powers]

I look at a bit differently than most. As the original owner, I haven't made a car payment on the thing in a dozen or so years. If it takes $500 or so a couple of times a year, it's still cheaper than a car payment. 

That said, the avant may soon be on the block. We're about to enter the world of high compression and lots o' torque. We are getting a diesel Jetta TDI Sportwagen.

I am certainly disappointed to read this report.  : > )  "Had the  
hardware replaced."
Now, who could pass up the joy of standing on their head to change the  
master
cylinder?
