tell you the truth i thought it was a external reg. but i could be the wrong one i will double check today to see but i always thought it was ...

so i had sat off and decided to put the new plugs & wires in. car ran great. well minus the exhaust leak. got home parked it and went inside. came out the next day to go shopping before work. clutch dropps to the floor. there goes the slave cylindar. went to go get a new one cause i just replaced the one on my old rolla. tried 3 names and numbers couldn't find it anywhere. so ordered it. gets in today. put it on on my break and hope i have a car to drive back to work. lol.

slowly but surely, new parts will equal new car...maybe

at least you know the slave cylinder is brand new. what's next on the to fail list?

it happens to all of us. don't feel all alone daniel.

my wagon driver front tire decided to start chucking all over the place on the way home for lunch. had to take it 30mph the rest of the way until i got into the 86 to get back.

well here is the case now. the slave is on, but the car doesn't move. well it moves but hardly. there is something els wrong. not sure what it is. i live in an apt so i don't have a lot of room to work on it. don't have alot of tools either. if anyone lives or is coiming to austin in the next few days maybe you could give me a hand to figure this out. or give me a call or txt me. 956-357-1571. it lets me put it in gear but doesn't pull. it just barely moves.

it bleeds fine. could the cable running to it be kinked causing it not to work right? cause the car will move, just really slow. like a crawl if even.

dont drive it like that it might ruin your clutch. how old is the hose? it could be damaged or clogged. yes it could be kinked or twisted and restricting flow. maybe you should try to evacuate the system and put new fluid in before you spend more money on parts.

do you see any leaks any where or puddles under the car and did your slave work before you changed it all?
