It is not apparent from just looking at it because the failure is inside the hose, same as the brake line hoses. That was an easier fix than replacing the clutch. Even replacing the slave or rebuilding it is far less labor intensive than pulling the motor and gearbox to get to the disc and pressure plate. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Frank Krajewski<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:whitesmoke'><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> dave via Mgs <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:whitesmoke'><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Sent:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> Monday, May 20, 2019 2:29 PM<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:whitesmoke'><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>To:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> mgs@autox.team.net <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:whitesmoke'><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Subject:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> Re: [Mgs] bad clutch or?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>Picked it up today – when you start it in gear, it starts moving.
