In the middle of a ******* intersection, ******* thing took a ****, none of the usual warning signs. **********er state patrol drove right by me too. Wife had to come bail me out. Not a fun trip to the bank LOL

That sux. When my clutch went out, I was making a left turn and in the middle of a veyr busy intersection also. Talk about embarassing. Good luck getting it fixed.

phinsup 10-08-2003 03:38 PM

Damn, I was making a left too... onto a state highway LOL

1Revvin7 10-08-2003 03:42 PM

Sux, might as well replace the master too..

vosko 10-08-2003 03:56 PM

doh. atleast its easy to fix. it was probably rusted and rotted away and cracked... i've seen that before

phinsup 10-08-2003 03:57 PM

Yea, it was cracked, I could see the crack and the fluid was leaking out, so no pressure. :(

dumb ass cops!

mazdadrifter 10-08-2003 04:50 PM

so did it stay engaged or were you able to jerk it out of gear???



I can just see phins running a red light in front of a cop and driving circles around in an intersection cause his car is stuck in gear https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR

rev to 3k and shift without the clutch in each gear, wouldve saved you from getting attacked by the cop.

my slave was a bitch would drive fine but eventualy would lose pressure. Luckily i never had to push it just coasted to a parking lot and eventualy it regained pressure enough to drive home.

phinsup 10-08-2003 10:32 PM

It was stuck in gear, car started crawling, I hit the key immediately turned it off, had I of stopped it 10 yards sooner I would have been able to get it on the shoulder, but where I ended up there was no shoulder :(

Definetly do both the master and the slave. When one goes the other is not far behind. Plus, you never have to deal with a situation like that again if you do both. Do the line too. Braided.

if you ever get stuck with and its in the down position, you can get the car home. Try to time your lights out, and if you have to stop, shut the car off, put it in 1st gear, then wait for the light and start it when it turns green.



You can shift without the clutch and not get any grinding if you shift at the right time. I got my 1985 GS home like this when mine went out at 3am and it was about 15 degrees out. I wasnt sitting around waiting for a ride thats for sure, lol.

thats what i was saying. simply hold the shifter towards the gear and apply some pressure, at a certain rpm youll feel the gate open and itll slide into gear with no effort.
