The slave cyl. did not lose one drop of fluid.
It is good even at 80MPH, smoothest one I have ever driven.
I drove it through the car wash. The accumulated dirt did not even budge. An associate saw me wiping crud in the vacuum stalls and asked:
"Did you go through the wash?"
Me: Yes
"Which wash did you get?"
Me: The big one
She felt sorry for me and said I could drive it through again! I took some time and emulsified the crud then did just that. Took it for the highway trip.
About a half hour later I was on an off ramp and realized because of the distraction with the double car wash I had neglected to put the temp plate back on. In Ohio temp plates are cardboard so I removed it for the wash.
I pulled in to a gas station to put it on and noticed one of those little strips on the back of the cab corner was evidently removed by the car wash.
I went back, they had it! Luck.
Eval:
Rear brake line wasted, need to replace and bleed. Clutch is just fine though the trans itself goes in to gears a little harder than it should. I'm going to check for lube and if it isn't fresh drain the old and replace. I need to re attach the little upper cab corner strip.
The thing runs like a top so far, though at one point I thought it felt like it was powerless for 3 seconds. Not a stalling just not enough acceleration per applied throttle. Maybe position sensor IDK. I'm going to keep it my daily driver for a month or until something shows itself.
Note: has no CEL but does have ABS/BRAKE light on as one would expect. I'm going to give it a couple days and hook forscan to it maybe the TPS will show a little weirdness.
Overall I could sell it right now for twice what I bought it for just washing it.
