I have a 2003 B2300. It was purchased with a manual 5-speed with the intent of having a simple low maintenance vehicle.
I baby my truck with the intent of getting at least 120K out of the clutch.
Then one day my clutch pedal goes to the floor. Easy fix right? I probably let the hydraulic fluid get low. Fine, add fluid, it runs out of the bottom. (crap) I limp home, and attempt a fix, it shouldn't be too difficult right? Probably a slave cylinder. $150 fix, quick swap, ready by morning.
Repair manual, step #3: Remove transmission.... WTFH?!
Slave cylinder where I can't get to it? WHY?!?!?
Who the &*&(* designed this?!?!? Is there a purpose to making a transmission like this? (except to make more money?)
It's cost me a whole lot of time and money to fix this thing, and I am a whole lot of pissed off.
(rant off) thanks for listening (reading)
