Well, gents and non-gents. I got the hydro junk put in yesterday. I'll have to appologize for not taking pics and stuff but if you knew how bad I felt last night, you'd cut me some slack. My neighbor came over and thankfully he did most of the work....'cause if I bent over under the hood one more time, I was going to have to go outside and ralph.
The slave is a cinch. Two bolts, jerk and stab. Two bolts. They are Japanese so leave your standard size sockets in the box.
The clip on the clutch pedal is a cinch.....if you can pull your seat all the way back, lay on your back with a half twist, keep the drop light from igniting your hair and use a pair of needle nose pliars. Just pops off.
The hardest part is fighting the old master cyclinder out from under the jumbled up rats nest of BS under the dash. EVERY-THING is in the freakin' way. The new one goes in pretty easy becasue you can unscrew the eye off the end and that takes just enough length off the rod to get it in.
Over all, I can tell the truck shifts a lot smoother. As far as putting the truck in neutral, spinning everything up, then clutching it and catchin' 1st, 2nd, or rev....no dice. The best thing is now I can wait out the stop lights with the truck in gear and the clutch depressed. The pedal has a lot less resistance with the better cylinders.
So, I may have gained about $100 of improvement for my $300 purchase. Not completely happy with the tranny yet, but it is a little better now.
