It appears my clutch master cylinder went out. I've replaced the slave cylinder already, so that leaves the MC which I believe is back-bleeding; can somebody point me in the direction of where I might find removal instructions? Or give me a rundown on how to remove the MC? I'm picking up a new one today and intend/hope to install it tomorrow.
Thanks! This post has been edited by GriffGirl: Oct 11, 2008 - 4:31 PM --------------------  |

I'm choosing to believe that it is the failure of the hydraulic system that caused the failure of the clutch. I guess theoretically it's possible, right? Like if the master cylinder failed, it could have caused the slave cylinder to fail which in turn prevented the clutch from disengaging, and of course with the clutch still engaged it could have gotten mysteriously chewed up.
That's my story and I'm stickin to it. At least it's a somewhat educated theory. Ooh, that makes it a hypothesis.
