[6pack] My darned clutch slave

[Timbo00001 at aol.com]

I had a problem years ago after replacing mine and found out from an old  
sage that the little breather hole in the cap on the reservoir was  plugged.  
I went through all the bleeding anguish and self flagellation  only to 
realize a simple fix.  Hope it helps!

The normal hole to use is the  center hole.  



If you have had to add fluid  after bleeding then where did the fluid go?  
Check to see where the fluid  went.



One thought here is to safely  jack the car up and see if you have 
excessive movement in the clutch fork.  This can be done with the slave rod 
disconnected from the arm. A small piece  of pipe may help for leverage to see if 
you feel a catch in the  movement.  If so then you may have a broken pin in 
the clutch fork.

I'm  wondering if there is anyone there:))  I changed my clutch slave 
cylinder  and bled it.  Went for a drive and
after  sitting in a drive through a few minutes had a heck of a time 
getting it in  gear.  I learned a long time ago
not to take  the car out of gear in situations like that.  After some 
crunching of  gears I got home.  On advice
of one more  experienced than me I re-bled the thing with my son pushing 
the pedal and me  under the car. 
Finally  after seeing no more air bubbles and having a good amount of 
resistance I went  for a short drive.
Returning  home and about to turn into my driveway I had to crunch the 
gears again.  More fluid was added and 
more pumping  etc. I felt confident.  I got to the end of my street today 
before I had  to do a U turn and come home.
I wonder  whats wrong?    There are different spots on the rod into the 
slave  and frankly I don't remember 
which hole I  have it set at.  Would changing that make a difference?  
Should I go  to the hole nearer the
slave or  father away, should it come to that.  Ideas, opinions,  prayers?
