Good evening all,

I have read as much as i can find and i think i have a very similar symptom to others. I do not want to derail a thread or ask repetitive questions, i am simply looking for confirmation.

Here is what i found today.

1. There was no nut on the rear of my shift fork connecting to the slave cylinder rod. I believe this is a problem, put a locknut on it and tightened all the way. No improvement.

2. The fluid in my master cylinder is brown and continues to go down. I know this is a problem.

3. My slave cylinder shaft spins freely which i believe is correct however there is quite a bit of play up down / left right. There is also a lot of fluid on the boot. The fluid on my garage floor is the same color as the master cylinder.

All that being said, i believe i need to do the following

1. Drain the system fully
2. Replace the slave cylinder
3. Flush entire system and refill with DOT4, is a cleaner required?

I this is like groundhogs day for many of you, i have gleaned this info from several different sites and posts before posting here.

Does anyone know of the Mighty Vac referred to, that will help bleed the system?

Thank you anyone who will respond, i appreciate your help.
