AdrianZ Posted May 17, 2004 Share #1 Posted May 17, 2004 my brakes work like poo, than i notice that i can't push my brake all the way down, than 5 or 10 mins later i can only push it an inch down and the brakes start to drag. i got my master replaced, could it be the throw in the master?my cluch, my cluch does not seem to work like it use to, i cleaned out the fuild in the reservoir becuase it was almost like grease, than put some synthetic stuff in there. now i push my cluch in and it fells like I'm not even movign anything till it's at least half way in, and now when I go into reverse I'll have my cluch al the way in but it still grides, and i have drided 3ed about 5 times now, is my cluch shot or is it not working right?

AxtellZ Posted May 17, 2004 Share #2 Posted May 17, 2004 Did you flush new fluid through and bleed the system, or just wipe out the reservoir and pour in new fluid?Sounds as if the lines may be full of goo, and nothing working properly...We need a bit more detail i think.Jeremiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like your brake system has not been bled properly and/or the brake booster is not functioning correctly. IS there a vacuum leak at the booster? (can you hear a sucking sound?)Originally posted by AdrianZ my cluch, my cluch does not seem to work like it use to, i cleaned out the fuild in the reservoir becuase it was almost like grease, than put some synthetic stuff in there. now i push my cluch in and it fells like I'm not even movign anything till it's at least half way in, and now when I go into reverse I'll have my cluch al the way in but it still grides, and i have drided 3ed about 5 times now, is my cluch shot or is it not working right? "Synthetic stuff"?? You cannot mix types of brake/clutch fluids. Probably got air in the system by "cleaning out the fluid in the reservoir" also. Flush the system completely and refill with DOT3 brake fluid, and bleed the system properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianZ Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share #4 Posted May 17, 2004 I really need to flush all my fluids but I don't have the money to take it in right now. my cluch might be full of geew but i thnk i got all the air out.. maybe.as for the brakes i dunno about a leak, but i have inscrewed the Proportioning Valve to let out fluid witch keeps my brakes from dragging and air my get in when i do that. I have weber carbs on my engine that the vac is hooked to, i don't know how much of a vacuum it makes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
