The ::Curls:: calls this morning in a panic she was almost to work and the clutch gave up on her.... But with some gear grinding and determination she was able to get it into her parking garage downtown.
Asked her what it was doing when it died and it sounds like a classic case of bad slave cylinder.
Anyone want to buy a 2002 Miata. ;)
Buyer beware!!! I think his teenaged daughter gets a vote in the sale of this car.
That car has been beaten like a red-headed step child! Run away!Quote:

Surely you are trading cars with her at lunch....
Just put some fluid in it. It won't leak out too fast.
I'll trade you five NA's for it..........
That is what I am thinking only problem is it is in downtown Ft. W so lots of stop and go before it makes it to the house.Quote:

It's a 6 speed right? You can easily start it in 2nd and leave it there up to 52 mph.
The last time he drove it downtown that late at night, the ::Bust1:: stopped him for driving too carefully.
POS, if you try this, be sure she and her ID go with you ::Banana::
Wow got it home what a PITA that trip was!
Suckers are tricky to drive with a bad slave cylinder!
Guess I need to fix it now. ;-)
What did you do all day?!?! :confused:Quote:

::Curls:: drove the '02 to work today and said it is fixed! ::Banana::
Parts needed to fix the slave cylinder:
O'REILLY/BRAKEBEST - Clutch Slave Cylinder Kit
Item No: CHK351232
$7.19 Each
Congrats! That's usually all it takes to fix it.
And now the rest of the story.... :rolleyes:
Noticed a very small puddle under Vivid the past two mornings but it didn't seem to be losing any fluids.... Thought maybe it was residual fluid from when I rebuilt the slave cylinder.
But we still have a leak look what I found while snooping around it tonight. ::Censor::

This is what happened to me last year. That piece of rubber hose at the firewall had a leak at the banjo bolt. I replaced it with stainless steel one from TDR. The clutch feels better with the TDR piece.Quote:
