yeah, I have checked everything really hard, and look and felt for ANY movement along the fire wall, brackets, or anything....nothing moves out of the ordinary.
I got a question about the M5OD, i know the slave cylinders changed over the years but that because they wants a new type of fitting and master cylinder right? So if I had a 96 trans and had all the hydraulic parts and clutch parts for a 92, it should still work right? I don't think they changed anything in the bell housing that would make the early hydraulic system ineffective with that trans right? I am just wondering about that. Though, I am using my Fm146 trans with the combination from a 92 clutch kit and slave with 89 master, same setup I was using before this random event.
Also, I do not think I have tried the Plastic slave yet in combination with the early master cylinder, so I plan to try that and take out the hydraulic system again and bench bled it. I am 100% sure of how to properly bled the system, but the only way i know for the slave after bench bleeding is to open the bleeder and let 1.5-2 reservoir flow through it then close the bleeder.
I'll tell you what....I may not know how to work on any other vehicle but i damn sure can tell you ANYTHING you need to know about my truck lol....I know that S.O.B. like the back of my hand. I have even figured out a technique to put a transmission in with just one person and a jack.
