Yeah the fork has free movement.If I pull the slave off and bleed it that way will the slave slide back into the fork?

:redface: I guess I'm not able to adequately describe a procedure I have used

with success on other cars https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif .



edit: leave the slave on the car



try: open bleeder, have friend step on pedal. (slowly)

close bleeder, have friend pull up pedal from floor.

have friend slowly pump pedal to see if pressure.



no pressure, repeate open/push/close/pull.

small pressure, repeate ...

lots of pressure :bigok:

I did that yesterday with no luck.Thanks for the help tho.

I'll have to try running a hose to the bleeder then to a bottle of fluid I guess then. :rant:

I wish I could help more.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

While we are on this subject, my 7 is supposed to have a new clutch, but under spirited driving the clutch really slips when going to 2nd and 3rd and 4th. It doesn't ever really slip when in 1st though. The previous owner says it is a new clutch, but the throw out bearing was reused. I checked the adjustment that Haynes recommends and it is off a little. It is 1/4 inch closer to the firewall than Haynes says it should be. Do you think that is my problem?

Luis:

I guess you found some of my Gremlins hanging around your garage also.

Drove the Bad Ass for a couple of hours yesterday, and I think I've got everything

adjusted correctly. I hope that it last till the next time I start it. Man this Machine is

FAASSTT.

I went through a full tank of gas in 120 miles. That really Sucks. But I guess thats the

price of Speed!!!



Getting to the steering problem. I can pull the Wheel & Shaft out about 2''s from the column

and back again. Make any sense to ya? I've read that I may have to replace the whole gear

box. $540.00 from Mazdatrix. It doesn't seem to being hurting anything, just makes me a

little nervous. Ever heard of any cure for this one???

P.S. Hows the Clutch delema going?

thats what i do, to bleed it



mike

the steering column is a 2 piece unit, so when you crash the car it collapses. there is a little plastic pin that keeps it in place, yours broke the pin, i am not sure where the pin is but i think you can get to it



mike

As always Mike is right.

There is a little plastic tab that holds the steering wheel/shaft from moving in and out. The tab is there so when you crash the car the two piece steering column/shaft won't jab you in the head or chest. This is really easy to break if you try to take the steering wheel off. To fix you have to remove the whole steering column assy so you can get at the steering shaft. Once you get the column out you will see the little broken plastic tab/pin. To fix this on my 83 I just drilled/tapped and put in two set screws.

It's kind of hard to explain, more of a visual thing I guess.
