Square one,,,,

Took all day today.  Not the clutch, but getting things running.   And no, it wasn’t the clutch,   It wasn’t the Slave Cylinder, nor the Master,,,,  

It’s something between the two.     Had it up’n’runnin’ and Dad took it out: did good for the test drive, but he was confuzzed about the 4wheel drive thing.   (this one doesn’t have the same ‘shift’ pattern for the transfer case as his older model and it caught him funny.)   So, When he came back, he asked me to check it and I did so by taking it for a spin myself.   And made it about 1/2 mile before that clutch pedal was back on the floor.    Looking, there is some ‘wet’ on one of the line fittings, and it could be attributed to a valve cover leak, but I am starting to think there is something else going on under that muck.     It  seems to be leaking just enough to keep it wet, but that means its sucking air as well   Gasses compress, fluids do not: Hydraulics require that non-compression aspect.  

too late to worry about it tonight, and Da is not overly worried about it. 

I’m the one burning inside over this.    Had I diag’ed properly, we would have already fixed the issue and saved him quite a bit of cash.    I’m sorta kicking myself in the backside on this.   “live and learn’ but dammit, this was a noob screw-up, and I ain’t a noob.   (rusty as F! but not noob.)

ANyWhoozitsss, tomorrow is a back to the J.O.B. and (fingers crossed) regular working hours,,,,    I plan, IF OTHERWISE AT THE J.O.B., to get back on fixing that line between cylinders and getting this SNAFU corrected.   (some weekend, eh?   long hours getting crusty grimy paws that don’t wanna come clean, and now I head back to the mines for a regular run of ‘not sure’,,,, LOL)
