Daily "pumping the clutch" (Page 1/1)
gatorfrey NOV 07, 05:03 PM
So,
I have this freshly bought Fiero that has weird electrical things going on (see flashing electricals post) .
I also have this going on. In the AM first starts, I have no clutch. I can pump it about 50 times and get enough to drive it.
In the course of the day after that, I get acceptable function. Good enough to drive. In doing a visual on the master and slave, I see no leaks, and the level in the reservoir is good and unchanged. What's that ? Air somewhere ? Could not be a leak. My level is holding. I did note wrench marks on the braided line to slave, but cannot swear they are fresh. Maybe....
Anyone else see this before ?

Never.

Common issue. Have a look at This recent thread and pay special attention to what is stated about double-seal clutch slaves.

i will try that. Makes sense.
Thanks!!!
Now if I can get those electrical gremlins solved, I will be able to focus on upgrades and things.
