[DeTomaso] gumball pantera shift problems again

[bill gaino]

Bob, Sounds like lack of disengaugement for sure. Mike has a good point about the rod. A master cyl can leak internal, and not drip out. If the slave leaks , there will be fluid visible. You could just have air in the line too. See if a simple bleeding will bring the pedal back.   BIll 1362
