Subject:      master cylinder or pressure plate-master to blame
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

so i wrote earlier last week about having a problem
with my clutch starting to go out, or so i thought.
after reading a bit in the archives, and a few ideas
from the list,i had narrowed it down to the master
cylinder or pressure plate needing some attention. the
master was not leaking, and most of the post's in the
archives mentioned leaking masters, which led me to
believe i might have a bigger problem...
 i decided to replace the master cylinder as it is
fairly cheap, and mine looked old anyway, as a place
to start. when i first went out to the van with my new
master to have a look, i was fairly let down...the
master is a bit cramped in where it lives, and i was
having nitemare visions of not being able to get the
new one in place, if i could even get the old one
out...from posts i have read the job was slated for an
hour. from looking at the problem i was seeing the sun
going down, and me with a handful of greasy, busted
parts...as it turns out, it is as easy as i had read,
and been told, and a half hour, or so, later...the
clutch is back to normal....
  thanks to all who tried to help with my problem, and
the list in general, if for nothing else than its
recorded history...
