[Tigers] Clutch mystery

[coolvt at aol.com]

If there's no fluid visibly leaking anywhere, it's probably either the master or the slave. While you have it apart (and if they are both old) you might want to consider rebuilding kits for both.  Mark L

But I was getting it ready to go to a show tomorrow, the first one of the year.  I pushed it out of the garage, checked all the fluids, the tire pressures, washed the windshield... And then I went to start it.  The clutch pedal went straight to the floor, little resistance.  That's new.   I pumped it a few times and it started to feel more like normal. No leaks on the ground, no fluid missing when I rechecked the reservoir.  I have the stock master and slave with silicon fluid.  I'm thinking its master rebuild time.   Any other thoughts out there? So much for mini British car day at Larz Anderson.  No way I'm committing to a 45 minute drive into Brookline with a questionable clutch.  And there's no way to turn up a master rebuild kit this afternoon. Stu_______________________________________________
