Damnit!!!!!!!!!!!

[junglestylz]

I go out to my car around four to go home. I push in the clutch and damn near drive throughthe front of the building!!!! So I get out and look under my car, and there is a huge puddle of what amazingly looks similar to hydraulic fluid. Don't know where it's coming from, but I would put my money on either the slave, or master cylinder. So I am stuck at work right now, typing to you guys when I should be home getting something to eat!!! Thank god I don't leave my car in reverse or I would have backed straight into oncoming traffic on Valley View Blvd.!!!!! DAMNIT!!!! DAMNIT!!!!! DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!! I am just going to find out what the guy around the corner wants for his 1991 318is and go buy it. There are people here that think there is always a more intelligent way to express yourself than swearing, but Those are the only words that are running through my mind.

Hey Junglestylz, If you are stuck there I can come and give you a ride home.

 

[Big Daddy]

Yep, it sounds like the clutch slave cylinder. Should not be too tough a repair.

 

[junglestylz]

I got a ride home, but thanks for the offer. I am going to have Chris take a look at it today and see if he knows more so what it is. Either way, I have to have it fixed by monday if not today. I am moving down to Henderson this Saturday. Right down off the street that goes between the high school and the community college.

I had the exact same thing (you may have read about it) my prob came when fixing it. the mechanic engaged first the clutch poped itself and the car went off the ramp into a rather sturdy and large tool box. the clutch work will take a few hours at most. (and thats to have master + slave + hoses replaced) but the body work takes slightly longer

 

[junglestylz]

I have never really dealt with the cylinders, which one is mounted to the tranny, the slave, or the master¿

 

[junglestylz]

The slave cylinder gets into european motor cars at 10. Hopefully I can get it put in today.

take some pictures

 

[junglestylz]

Will do, we have a compnay camera here that I can use.

Is Dan's place going to do the labor or are you?

 

[junglestylz]

I just had them order the part for me today and I am going to put it in myself tomorrow. Chris said that as long as I am only replacing the slave cylinder it shouldn't take that long. The whole 20% discount thing worked out great though. It was still higher than EAP's price, but, what am I supposed to do in a pinch. I would have him do it but I have to pay a security deposit and stuff tomorrow for the new place down by CCSN.

 

[rjp325i]

He used to give just 10%. Did he up it because Desert Henderson gives 20%?

 

[junglestylz]

I do believe that he did. It cost me $40, but EAP would have taken about three days to get here.

 

[rjp325i]

Overnight shipping from EAP would have taken away the price advantage.

 

[junglestylz]

Yeah, but he was only charging $25
