2am was not really that bad come to think about it- i tried timing out lights, had to shut it down and start in gear a few times, matched shifts with no clutch but I got home- heavy traffic you would be towing the car home

hydraulics dont fix themselves, problems do not go away- it will fail.

Replace the slave and master cylinder as well as the rubber clutch line. Make sure you bleed the system. Your problem should be fixed.

During this recession, even hookers are cheap and negotiable.
Not that I've tried.

So you'll be rebleeding later when you eventually replace the master.
Well played.

It is cheaper to start with the slave and line. The slave is 90% of the time the culprit, but if things still aren't right then just pick up a master. Its not like they are that expensive.

is your time not worth anything?
isnt it "cheaper" to just do it all at once? bleed it once, and be done with it?

Bleeding it takes like 5-10 minutes. The install is what takes longer. So if the master ends up being fine then you saved like an hours worth of work.

but are you really that cheap you would rather swap 2 out of the 3 components and see if it solves your problem? To have that doubt in your head for a lousy $30-$40?

The motor oil for the brake system, or the motor oil for the engine?
