Subject:Clutch and Master Cylinder diagnosis and approacha and Redline
From:Westy Clarke
Date:Sat, 12 Mar 2005 20:58:58 -0800

My clutch pedal has about 2 inches of play until it
meets resistance with the master cylinder.  I believe
this means that I need to repair something but I'm not
sure what and then there is the how?
Getting under the dash (not sure how to apprach this)
seems very difficult.  Afterwards how will I know I
have accomplished my task?  What parts will I need to
buy?  Currently The gears grind if I don't wait a few
seconds between shifts, especially when going from 1st
to 2nd, a bit 2nd to 3rd and also into reverse.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Also thinking of putting Redline MT90 in the
transmission case but Bentley says the case holds 3.0L
however with refill only 1.5L can be drained.  Is this
true and I only add 1.6 quarts?

If you could include recommended tools as well that
would be a bonus.
See y'all at Cinqo de Mayo (this time with my wife and
kids....wish me luck!)
Thanks
Fint
