You should have bought a ford instead of a crummy holden.
But it is typical that somethng will break when you really don't want it. Will we see parts of "STEALTH" on sale here to fund the repairs on the SS??

The thing I hate about Gen3's is the clutch fluid tank is so small for bleeding.
I like the slave being part of the clutch too bad you have to replace it basicly everytime but it deos give good feel. |

yeah I have done more than my fair share
everytime the main problem was bleeding it up and down the hoist. Espeically the first time it was like ? Still got air in it? 2nd time was making sure you could still get to the bleeder etc. all were upgrade clutchs so I have to say it's hard to tell sometimes. one time someone forgot to close the bleed valve and it was well bleed by the end. better then some cars but like some mazda's I think V6 astina is same uses brake resivour for it's tank. don't like that knew one guy had split in his slave hose - just sounds like a bad idea. Anything killing brakes I don't like |
