Re: [AMC-list] IT RUNS!!! (and idles pretty dang well now)

A trick I learned from my uncle was to use Crisco cooking oil (which is easily twice as thick) in my clutch master. I used it in my '88 MJ as a temporary repair (I was moving at the time the integral slave started puking fluid out) and drove it till the pilot bearing seized up over a year later (it was stiff to shift when below freezing)
   Use only Castrol GTMLA brake fluid in those per factory spec otherwise.

thanks for the concern about the t-case. im aware of NOT driving it without rear shaft on. my wife has a mercury mountaineer. 5.0/aode. it has the same type of t-case. cept that one you cant take out of 4x4 at all. the eagle has the vacume lines, and switch on the left side of the dash to take it out. i was going to ask if the selectable 2/4 wheel drives still had the clutch in the t-case. i didnt drive it any at all. i just was riding the synchro in 1st gear, and it started to creep. just wanted to see if it felt like it would move. 

i have bleed and bleed and bleed the mc/ss. the m/c puts out only a little pressure. i can hold my finger over the line and hold the pressure back. the resivoir was dry, so i think it probably got pitted and all. i got a rebuild kit coming for it. see if that will work, or if i have to hunt down a new one. i got to get that rear driveshaft fixed and clutch, then i think i might be able to drive it from one end of town to the other. (1/4 mile TOPS. only about 40 people live here) still got to work on getting all the gauges to work. does anyone have the little console that goes around the shifter?
