- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Twice now, in the past month, I have had an issue with my clutch. After the truck has been sitting for several days, the clutch will engage too soon the first time I use it. Specifically; I get in, push clutch, pull shifter out of gear, start engine, shift into gear, then clutch engages as soon as I start to pull my foot back. Not in middle of travel like normal.
If I pump the clutch a few times, all is normal. It is normal while I drive and will even be normal all day and the next day. Only happens when the truck sits unused for several days.
1993, 3.0L, M50d, 1354e, 165k miles, OEM original clutch system as far as I know.
I haven't found any fluid leak yet. But i have had to top off the reservoir once. So if there is a leak, its probably at the slave. Is this a sign that I should be ordering a new master/slave cylinder kit? Seems to me that if I somehow got air in it, the problem would be continuous.
