[urq] "Missing" ATF..

[Martin Pajak]

Hi Frank,

If it's the assist leaking into the car it would go straight under the
carpet BTDT on my old '83... the insulation under the carpet was nicely
soaked with ATF, which you could not feel on top of the carpet.

Also, if the bomb fails, it will take a bit as the gas is slowly displaced.

So.. check the bomb (panic stop the pedal will go rock solid without any
braking force), and check very well under the carpet under the pedals.

Hope this helps.
