Bloodyaussie's GQ

Last couple of days my clutch pedal has felt very firm when accelerating but soft while backing off and changing down... now I know these are vacuum assisted and George said that is normal for a car that has a cam but it is steadily getting worse.... George is in the mountains today collecting firewood so I cant hassle him...he he.

It feels like it is resisting me but as I back off it feels so easy to push the pedal..??

Its had a new slave put in nearly 2 years ago and the fluid level seems fine....

WANKER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just had a look at the fluid and it looks like it could do with being flushed as it is very murky...?

That is going to be normal because with a cammed motor you will have a lower manifold vacuum.

Install a vacuum gauge in your patrol, and you can monitor your engine.

[Bloodyaussie]

I have a vacuum leak and am just about to go and find it... it is getting worse.

Will report back.

Looks like its the booster..... bugger !!!!

Who sells kits... found one mob but they are out of stock.

[Bloodyaussie]

Dont worry I found a kit from Patrolapart for $61.....

On a side note found a GQ td42 suits cab swap or use for the running gear........ Hmmm ????

as far as the 98 goes i never noticed any gain running 98 vs regular 91 until i added a bit more timing which made it ping on 91 if i put any sort of load on it.
