I guess you found some of my Gremlins hanging around your garage also.
Drove the Bad *** 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?

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.

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
steve

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:
