Hi guys:
Since the parts were new including the hoses and cylinders I thought maybe a
slight leak, but I couldn't see any after plenty of pumping with the system
closed. My good buddy Jaguar Joe came by with his 'wealth of knowledge',
insisting I needed to change the slave, master or both. I showed him no leaks
and then Randall's pt. about "air locked". Sure enough as Jag Joe pumped I
opened the bleeder on the slave, pumped out some fluid that seemed to be
somewhat foamy at first. Three strong pumps then we locked it down. Sure
enough it goes forward in all gears again and reverses as well.
How about that folks!
Thanks to all!
