Subject:      Puking clutch cylinder on '81
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

I noticed some fluid on my floormat beneath the pedal assembly the other
day. Lo and behold, about five minutes into my trip to a neighboring town,
the clutch pedal was on the floor and I was no longer able to shift.
Niiiice. I got a quick lesson in double-clutching and managed to limp it
home with no ill effects (I hope) on the driveline. So I guess these things
have hydraulic clutches, huh? Anyway, I'm going to order a new master
cylinder from the Bus Depot this morning. I looked up the procedure in the
Bentley manual, but it doesn't seem very detailed. Is there a trick to
installing the master cylinder? I assume it needs to be bench-bled, but are
there other special steps I should take? TIA-
