Hi All,
TIA for those that can respond. My 88 GL is acting very funny and after many hour of diagnostic I still can't narrow it down. Here are the symptoms:
When cold it shifts fine, maybe a little sticky I suspect a slight misalignment of the linkage.
When warmed up it acts like the clutch is bad, it wont shift easily so I check the slave cylinder, looks good. But fluid is very very low and I refill
Still acts funny, hard to shift when warm but on occasion it feels like there is a lump in the tranny or it can feel like an automatic tranny. So I say is it the tranny, and I take it to jiffy lube to change the tranny fluid I think they put in GL4 Symptoms appear to be a bit better but still a bit sloppy/slushy. Then up under the front I see oil and trace it back and I looks like it is dripping off the *clutch master cylinder*?? I've never worked in that area of the van so it is a mystery to me.
The question is:
Is the problem in the:
a. slave cylinder b. clutch master cylinder c. tranny d. clutch
Thanks again Jere |
