Eleven
Platinum Level Sponsor
My SV has been getting progressively worse getting it into reverse and first/second gear. Finally got very bad the other day coming home. Jammed it into first and got home via double de-clutching, rolling stops and a lot of middle finger encouragement from other drivers.
Checking the Master reservoir I noticed that the fluid level is even with the very top of the unit and looks like a bit may have spilled over. I never fill it that full.
My guess is that either the slave or the master internal seal(s) have deteriorated and pumped fluid back into the master. When I got home, btw, gave the clutch pedal a half dozen vigorous pumps and everything seemed fine.
Oh, I always use the fluid (DOT 3?) that Rick sells.
Thank you for your help!
