Yesterday I was under my 84, re-bleeding the clutch slave and the brakes with my power bleeder. I'd replaced the clutch slave while traveling and didn't get all the bubbles out using the "Down---Hold---Release. Down---Hold---Release" method. While I was under, I lubricated everything with this good spraycan of Wurth saBesto HHS 2000. Someone on the list recommended it as good stuff for fixing a noisy speedo. I used it on all my shift linkage and also the moving parts and bushings of the suspension and steering...Wow! What an improvement in how the van works now. www.wurthusa.com You could also Google it. I forget where I got mine and it was way more $ than WD 40 but it is a miracle! Best thing since sliced bread...Really though, it makes my van shift like a well cared for Beetle and steer super smooth again.. Not affiliated with them. Last time I lubed up the shift linkage with the Wurth, it stayed good for over a month in the Northwest climate in late fall. I will be putting that on my "oil change" schedule...Change the oil and filter and squirt in the Wurth stuff.. Don Hanson |
