Might want to buy another just to have on hand.

What a nightmare to swap out. I was gonna do a how-to write-up, but honestly I couldn't explain in words and pictures how to get the thing out. The base of the pedal assembly blocks it. You would have to remove the brake master and half the dash to remove enough of the pedal assembly to get it to clear.

Instead, I just pried and distorted the sheet metal of the firewall to get the thing to slide to the side enough to get it out.

Got the new one in with just as much struggle. And it appears that I have lost the rubber seal that holds the supply hose to the reservoir. So I'm stuck til I can get that part.

At least the hard part is out of the way. Once I get the new seal, I just have to bleed the system and button her up.

My conclusion is that they did not intend for the clutch master to be serviced by the average mechanic. It was engineered for assembly purposes. Servicing not so much.

That sounds like a pain in the back end. Did the seal just dissapear or did it not come with the part?

I roll 880s from Decoto to my exit in San jose,north 4th st, first exit past the 101. Some times I take the 101 north to the dumbarton if I want a change of pace when going home.

I hate the 880 :blankface: pretty much hate most of the bay area :sadbanana:

Sorry if im coming off as a stalker I just like to help, hate seeing people broke down with no help.

Well, my next post here might be a final farewell.

I'm a grown ass man and a Sonic hobbyist. I don't have time to participate on a forum that can't manage it's fundamental function as a forum.

The excuses are bountiful, but I am on a handful of other forums that don't have a one single spam issue.

I'll give a little grace period, and I hope to stay. But I'm a man of my word and I promise that I will lead the exodus if the forum management doesn't support this great community of members.

Can you shoot me a PM of another good forum?

Preloader, if you jump ship and go to another forum please let us all know where. I for one definitely want to keep up with what you're doing to your sonic.

That being said I hop

I'll post it here again, because it would seem Preloader has a cult following; my phone number and signature are in my signature. if you have an issue with the site, or your car, do not hesitate to call, text, or email me. seriously, point out an issue like Preloader did today, and I personally will make sure it's resolved.

Uh, yes he does!

If my thinking was clear, I would have preceded him.

But if there is doubt, in this situation I will happily follow.

Got a trendsetting item coming overnight from DDMW. Only hiccup is it was sent to my Brother's business, which is closed today.:blankface:

So I'm parked out front, stalking the UPS truck.

 

[Eric Smit]

that's not weird at all.

 

[Preloader]

What IS weird is that I am almost more juiced about the DDMWorks T-shirt that should be in the box. Because represent.

 

[Eric Smit]

yeah, that's how I felt about my TTR and DDM stickers.

 

[Preloader]

Uggggh. I sat in my car in front of my Brother's job for 3 hours. Tracking said delivery by 12. I called at 12 and they said driver was behind schedule, and was expected to arrive within an hour.

1pm rolls around and I call UPS. They say driver attempted to deliver at 12:38pm. Uhhhhh, the driver is a lying sack feces, cuz I was there.

So I wait on hold for the supervisor for twenty minutes, and just as he is telling me the address where his driver is going to drop my package so I can pick it up, my phone dies.

Mid-sentence, while he is saying the address. phone.... dies.....

So I drive home in a boosted rage, it was actually therapeutic, and charge my phone. Well sure enough, that same guy left me a message, saying he realized my phone probably died and hopes I get his voicemail. Which included the address and info.

Faith in humanity restored. Even though I wasted 3 hours of my life, it was a nice day and at least I had my iPod with me.

Going to pick up my package in an hour.

 

[Eric Smit]

I kind of wish he didn't leave a message so you had a mystery on your hands.

 

[Preloader]

It's been a long time coming.......

It fits and works great. I'll do a write-up and review once Dave puts them up on his site. But first impression is dramatic. The throw is shortened greatly, and shifting has a very positive engagement feeling.
