Question for the smarties out there:
My AMX's dashboard brake light is constantly lit. When I apply the brakes hard enough, the rear wheel locks up, really a bit dangeous. There's no leakage of any brake fluid at any of the wheels. What caused this to happen? Should I reset the piston in both the engine compartment valve, underneath the heater motor, and the rear brake proportioning valve, or replace both, or what?
Thanks for the help,
Steve

Yeah, I know. Thats why I said it is air cooled. Its got the air shute
(spelling?) and all. I've never tried, but I always thought it looked like
you could drill and tap the locations for the cooling lines similar to the
later B/W transmissions. Has anyone ever tried that?

I've looked at this on the hydraulic circuits in the shop Manuals.
It looked like it could be accomplished, but IIRC you would need to run a line inside the trans too. It's been a while since I looked into it, so my memory is a little fuzzy.
I don't think you would accomplish much with this mod. The air colled trans does fine as long as it is maintained. The only real need for the extray coolign would beif you wanted to tow. I wonder if you needed to cool the borg trans if it would not be as easy to build a tran pan with fittings and use a circulating pump to move fluid thru a cooler?
Just thinking out loud.

Concur 100%. My m35 is in a Classic wagon, and I haul stuff,
take long (1000 mi up) camping trips, and it's lasted 18 yrs
on current rebuild. $100 tuneup every few years. I go slow
up mountains, laden.

Resetting the switch combination valve (put a catch tray under it and it
would help to look at the exploded view from the TSM) should do the trick
as long as you don't have a hydraulic problem. If you can't find a leak and
the light comes back on, chances are the master cylinder is bad (which
could also be why the rear brakes lock up before the fronts).
