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?

Yeah those pesky gremlins.Mike has your answer at least.But wouldn't that mean your car was in a wreck or just the pin broke?I can't wait for my NOS to get here.The guy is sending it out monday.Begining of febuary I'll be running it direct port. :squint: Hondas beware.

I did the beeding procedure according to the Haynes manual and have lots of fluid pouring from the nipple and it still won't build up pressure.The pedal just sits there.ARG! :rant: I miss the old one now that this happens.I want to use this brand new clutch oh so badly to pull it out of the garage and store it for another 2 months.HELP!

If there is fluid comming from the nipple then you either A) didn't tighten it enough or B) have some junk on the face of the seat where the bleeder seals. Either way if you have fluid comming out of the bleeder it's not going to push the clutch fork. [/quote]

I should have worded that better.With the nipple open fluid pours out.With it closed the pedal doesn't build up pressure.Can't figure it out.I'll try bleeding it again here soon. :rant:

hmm, sounds like you have a bad seal either in the master or the slave then.

I hope not.It worked awesome before the clutch change.I'll try bleeding it and see what happens.

Mike;

Thanks for the Info on the Steering Wheel.

The car was stolen at one point in it's life and I'll bet the thief screwed up

the column. The ignition key is different from the doors, so i'm sure that

it was replaced after the fact.

Anyhow this will be a spring project since the alignment shop said that it

was never in a front ender & won't hurt anything or cause loss of control.

Just one more thing to Irritate Me.

Thanks Again

That happens when people who are unaware of how fragile the columns are decide to hit the steering wheel with a hammer to get it off the shaft rather than using a steering wheel puller. :smirk:

Hey drifter.I see you're a supporter now?Don't you need that money for your car? BTW I guess I have to order another slave.I tried bleeding it again and still no pressure! :rant: How is it possible for a slave to die just by changing a clutch?It worked good before. :rant:

Slave ordered.$70 cdn should be in tommorow.Can't wait.This better work.I never seen a part die like this from a simple clutch swap.I'll keep you guys posted on the this BS clutch swap.
