[DeTomaso] clutch seepage

[Charles Engles]

Dear Chris,


          If the "little plunger in the engine compartment that has 
something to do with the clutch" is the original clutch slave cylinder, then 
I would say it is a harbinger of buying a new long throw slave cylinder from 
one of the vendors.   It might last the duration of the 300 mile cruise, but 
if it doesn't, then the return trip won't be terribly pleasant.    Dumb 
idea:  leave the Pantera with one of your club buddies,  order the slave 
cylinder to be delivered to their home address and have them install it 
while you're on vacation.  It is a pretty simple installation.  I would 
suggest a really nice gift for them, other than a T shirt, when you return 
from vacation........!

                             Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
