Subject:      Clutch and Master Cylinder diagnosis and approacha and Redline
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

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
