I just found a trail of brake fluid tonight from the Spit starting directly
below the slave cylinder, the resevoir was almost empty, and the pedal went
right to the floor. The inside of the master cyclinder had a good bit of nasty
black sludge-like stuff at the bottom, just 23 year old fluid and dirt I
guess? I'm going to remove and clean everything our real well and get a
rebuild kit for the slave, if indeed that's the problem.
My question has to do with access. I'm assuming that I need to remove the
trans tunnel to find and remove the slave? Being a new Spit owner and having
never done this I'm going to try and follow Haynes' directions. Are there any
good tips, or precautions I need to follow for removing the tunnel, or is it
fairly straightforward job? Does the gearshift lever assembly need to come
off?
Thanks for the help.
