Didn't want to post this one till I was back-up and running.
So last Saturday morning I go to meet some guys from a different board for a day of high speed runs up here in Northern, VT.
I do a 60 mile run South to the place that they are staying at and do a quick meet and greet.
Everyone looks competent so off we go to the races.
After about 20 minutes I start to experience difficult downshifts and am getting a little worried.
We are going through Smuggler's Notch at this time, which is a tight pass between Stowe and Jeffersonville.
I check my clutch resevoirs sight window and it is down considerably.
Another 10 miles and it is empty.
I pull into a convience store to properly check the system, removing the windshield, I open the resevoir to find it nearly empty.
So I buy a bottle of brake fluid and set about to reclaim my clutch.
To make a long story shorter.
No good, the slave cylinder has completly failed.
So I am about 30 miles from home, what to do?
I put my girl back together, start it in 1st and power shift my way home.
Fortunatly for me no one lives up here and I only had to make on right onto a 20 mile road to my town.
Run a stop sign making a right thru the village center to my road.
No barriers fortunatly because it sucks having to power shift and get to nuetral to stop.
The fellows were very kind and made sure I got home safely.
So, I call up and order a slave for 70 bucks.
Replaced it and she shifts fine again.
So the moral of this story is watch for slave cylinder failure, when the milage gets up there.
