[Roadsters] Clutch problem

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Matt,
Owing to the high pressures generated by the master cylinders, I know of
no way to patch a hydraulic hose.
Is your problem the hose, or the seal in the
slave cylinder?  I have found seal failure to be more common than hose
failure, but I'm just one data point.

Hi everyone,

I sure wish you guys would
stop talking about car problems! HAHAHAHA! 

Monday I saw a thread beginning
about clutch hydraulics problems. Friday, I
lost my clutch hydraulics. I put
in fluid, it disappeared. I put in more
fluid, it disappeared. It ended up on
the ground. I'm about to go outside
figure out why. Does anyone know of an
"alternate" clutch fluid hose part?
Like, what car I can ask the guy at the
parts desk for? I need info like. a
1980 210 or something? I am only HOPING
it's that, at this point. I can
"patch" a hose to make it usable until I get a
part from a vendor if I have
to. Driving home 4 miles in first gear yesterday
SUCKED! THAT wasn't as bad
as taking off from stoplights, starting in gear and
letting the engine catch
then killing the engine at the next red light. Not
good for the starter,
flywheel gear, battery, etc. 

Matt
