[DeTomaso] Master Clutch Cylinder

[adin at frontier.net]

It would be nice if all of us knew why this was happening!

Which fluid are you using now?  Dot3? Dot4? Dot5?

Have you recently wronged a voodoo lady or voted republican?

Any other reason(s) you might have bad juju?

Please keep us posted.

(Try the Ford brake fluid)
