Hello all,
Fresh from my first trial run in my newly-rebuilt 92 9KS (timing chain snapped and took out a whole variety of other stuff with it -- remember my posts about cylinder honing?).
Car runs fine except for a little whining in what I assume to be the oil pump region, but that's for another post.
Replaced clutch disk, pressure plate, and slave cylinder while I was at it. New slave came from Eeuroparts, with whom I've had no complaint over several major and minor repairs. Bled system, everything checks out. Drove for thirty minutes or so, and began noticing some occasional not-normal resistance in the clutch pedal, sort of "catching" and "chattering" on its way down and up, if you can visualize that.
Eventually, clunk. Pedal to floor, and stays down. Okay, classic MC death, except that sucker was new a year and a half ago. Never ANY problems with that MC.
Rebled this afternoon to absolutely no avail. Didn't appear to have lost any fluid consequent to the earlier failure, and didn't notice any leakage from the clutch lines at the slave unions. I'm relatively sure that this is a dead MC, but why? In other words, could my new slave have killed this MC somehow? When I rebled the system initially, I completely replenished the reservoir with clean, new DOT 4. I just for the life of me cannot understand the MC failing at this time!
Any comments?
Thanks.
