Thank you for your important advice on how to phrase a statement on BajaNomads. Now let me give you some advice in return, Stevie.
First of all, I NEVER SAID it was "a mechanical problem -- such as springs and linkages." What I DID say, and which you can still read up above, is
"It IS the clutch. The springs in the clutch, which hold the clutch plates together and transmit power from the engine to the transmission, are also
the same force that pushes the clutch pedal back up via the slave cylinder to the master cylinder. Something is causing a hang-up inside the clutch."
Please note that the operative words here are "something is causing a hang-up inside the clutch."
Now Stevie, that we have that part straight, let us review what Baja Bucko said, and read it for understanding this time around. Bucko said the
original problem was that the clutch pedal would not go down all the way. Ford replaced the master and slave.
Bucko said that after the master and slave were replaced, the clutch went down and would not come up. Please note for your records that problem #1 and
problem #2 are different. That is a big clue, Stevie.
Now, let us continue. Bucko said she took the Ford to the shop and the clutch fluid was OK and they could not repeat the problem. Now, my first guess
would have been either low hydraulic fluid or air bubbles in the line. But since Bucko said the shop checked that, I skipped it as an option.
Here is some information for you that with all your years of fixing cars you probably didn't know. The slave cylinder in that Ford is inside the bell
housing and the only way to replace it is to drop the transmission. Furthermore, the throw-out bearing is attached directly to the slave cylinder.
Look it up, a*swipe.
Now please refer to my original statement, which was: "something is causing a hang-up inside the clutch." I'm guessing that either the slave is
installed incorrectly, or is the wrong part number, or the throwout bearing is the wrong part number or installed incorrectly.
In summary, Stevie, please be content with slipping the chorizo to Zully every once in awhile and stay out of my line of sight with your condescending
crap. You don't know jacksh*t. |
Oh, jenny (fulano), you break my heart. Does this mean you won't be coming over tonight for your usual spanking?
PS: I see you've gone online and learned some more names of parts that comprise the clutch system. So, it is no longer THE CLUTCH, as
per your original statement?

Thanks for that info, Bajalou. I've always wondered what the heck those springs were for.
Now, if only "jenny" had them.

Hey! Psssst! I know Jacksh*t! How many people can claim that?  
He has an aversion to grease, his linkage is wound pretty tight and he has a lot on his clutch plate. He also has a spring in his misstep.

Someone today said---binding pivot in the linkage, or worn bushing, or bent linkage...
What do you think??? things to consider besides the master/clutch cyl or clutch?????

As you might have gathered by now, Bucko, anything is a possibility. One thing working on cars for a while does is make a person humble. Just when
you're sure what it is, damn if you weren't wrong. I use to suscribe to a magazine aimed at hobby mechanics named Skinned Knuckles, which had a
section in every issue titled "What went wrong?" full of just such problems.
I trust you will inform us once you have found out what it is. Good luck.
