I notice driving home the other day I pushed in my clutch and felt the pedal give a little.. Hmmm maybe air in the lines??? So I call a fellow Supra owner and volunteers to come by after work and help me bleed the clutch.. Well the pedal felt like it was scraping something when I pushed it in.. Just not a smooth push... Unfortunately I didn't make it home..:3d_frown:
So my bud came by with some tools and we go looking to see what the problem is.. I look at the master cylinder and the fluid is steady running out.. Not leaking on the ground or in the car.. Hmmm. Check out the slave and it is fully extended and the boot around the shaft is blown up like a balloon..
open the bleeder valve and push all the fluid out.. But wait... where's the clutch fork????? pull out a flashlight and hey there it is attatched to the hub along with the fork bracket.. Wow.. so at least one of the 2 bolts that hold the fork bracket was completely sheared off.. Not sure if the other one just vibrated loose or if it sheared off too... So now I get to drop the tranny to replace 2 bolts and put it back in.. Not sure if there is enough room through the dust cover to re-attach the bracket.. :rant:
