<div>From a no-expert: I read the service manual and a passage in there says be sure to "return the shims upon mounting the master cylinder".. I wondered why my BJ8 brake master did not have shims but the clutch did. Note that the shims are only used on the clutch master, as the rod is <strong>not</strong> adjustable but on the brake master the rod is threaded and adjustable. This shows the importance of the shims in proper place. Some earlier cars had both masters with adjustable rods. Mixing up the shims in their location, or leaving them out upon assembly, could have an effect on the working of the masters. The book is confusing and field rebuilds could be done improperly. Worn parts also play a part in the adjustment.

Slipping clutch/overdrive <br>I, for one, don't necessary expect a 'correct diagnosis'--or any diagnosis, for that matter--when I pose a question to the List (or a forum). By the time I post an inquiry, I'm usually out of ideas and I'm just looking for a few more. Even absurd ones (first I've heard of this particular issue, though I'm well aware of the function and frailty of the foot valve mechanism). But that's just me.<br><br><br></div>

<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: inherit; font-family: Times New Roman;">Thanks to everyone who replied to that question. The mist has clear</span><span style="background-color: inherit; font-family: Times New Roman;">ed somewhat. Plainly the needs of the master cylinders is something that I’ve cruelly overlooked down the years</span><span style="background-color: inherit; font-family: Times New Roman;">. Seemingly I explored and took you down every avenue, looked at every suspect etcetc…..all in vain. If it’s any comfort</span><span style="background-color: inherit; font-family: Times New Roman;"> – to you, I mean – I had the gearbox out, the clutch off, the overdrive</span><span style="background-color: inherit; font-family: Times New Roman;">’s clutches rebuilt</span> <span style="background-color: inherit; font-family: Times New Roman;">etcetc</span> <span style="background-color: inherit; font-family: Times New Roman;">and all for nowt!</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: inherit; font-family: Times New Roman;">Car’s performing well now. Fingers crossed. I</span><span style="background-color: inherit; font-family: Times New Roman;">f it does it again…..Toyota 5 speed or swap the brute for a 964 Sport</span><span style="background-color: inherit; font-family: Times New Roman;">!</span></p>
