clutch problem 120-130 1967

posted by  someone claiming to be mjamgb on  Thu Aug 26 11:15 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Found out Castrol LMA was much the same as "regular" Dot3 so I stopped using it on old LBC's with no ill effects.

It is a good idea to replace the flexible line to the slave cylinder too. It is made of the same material and just as old...

If you drive you car in traffic a lot then you probably have a considerable amount of time to get new parts. Replacing the whole slave cylinder is not very expensive and (nearly) guaranteed to be good, whereas your cylinder "could" be shot and unrebuildable.

You can drive the car with no clutch without destroying the tranny. Just remember to always park with a clear line to travel in front and (preferrably) pointing downhill. Learning to match engine speed with tranny speed is a skill we all should have ;)

Mike!
