  • ignition cylinder lock replacement

  • clutch question

    so my clutch is spongy? its loose till about 3" then I feel more resistance. I say more resistance because i feel the spring up top first, then it gets more firm. Well the other day I had to pump it a few times to get it to go into first gear. This has not happedned but this once. But my question is the distance changes as to where it sets more resistance. I replaced the master cylinder and it is doing the same thing. I replaced the clutch a while back. I have a feeling im not going to want to hear the response. Thanks

  • brake master cylinder gasket

    its funny sometimes it leaks and then sometimes it doesnt...must be a jeep thing. I cleaned around it well and the gasket acutally had some oxidation on it from the resovire (wow cant spell that) ill keep and eye on it, its not a problem just annoying more than anything. and of course cause there has to be something wrong...my clutch m. cyl took a poop. sopmetimes it works properly then the next minute I cant get the darn thing into gear. why would that happen? just curious im replacing it next week.

  • brake master cylinder gasket

    can i get a gasket for the brake master cylinder at a parts store? I saw a repair kit for master cylinder on qtec web site, would that be the best bet? is there even one in it? I can call in the morning but just trying to figure out. Or should i just get a new m cylinder?
    Thanks PeF
