Oh wise ones….
The Missing Linc, 1987 2.9
My clutch pedal seems to be fading a little bit. When I checked the reservoir, the fluid is kind of dark. I’m pretty sure it has a new slave cylinder because I put a new clutch in when I put in the rebuilt engine, very low miles since then, so I’m assuming it’s the clutch master cylinder. I hear they’re a pain in the neck to bleed, so a couple questions.
Is there any way to know whether it’s the clutch master or the clutch slave? I’m going to start with the clutch master simply because it’s obviously easier to get to.
And again, everything says they’re a pain in the butt to bleed and they have that reservoir that’s the size of a small shot glass. While I’m pulling it out anyway, would it make sense to put in a bigger reservoir from the scrapyard or the shed of miracles so it doesn’t run dry while I’m bleeding it?
Also, any bleeding advice on how to do it so it actually works would be appreciated. No rush, it won’t be here for a week. The local ones are apparently made of gold or Sterling silver. I just need an Aluminum one.
Thanks in advance
