Re: Clutch time

Yep, master cylinders will leak internally around the seals when they get worn. And it doesn't help with a truck like yours that sits a lot, since the rubber hardens up from not being used.

I used to run an electric forklift, the brake pedal was good for about 10 seconds before it hit the floor. Same thing, leaking internally. You really had to know when you were going to stop, there weren't any second chances on that thing.

Yep, white lithium grease in a can. It's WONDERFUL stuff, it's what's used to lube car door hinges, I also use it to lube my garage door tracks and anything that slides on my wrecker. You put the little plastic straw on the can and the stuff will shoot a good foot or more.
