Well that stupid Super HICAS pump took a crap and is leaking to hell ever since the rear casing was taken off to remove those fins, well I'm taking it off and using some RTV to make a gasket and seal it up. Also when testing out the power steering ,some air has built up and keeps releasing through the resevoir. Hopefully it will be take care of today. Hs anyone tried a different pump???

Next problem: Clutch pedal sticks to the floor so now replacing both clutch slave/master cylinders. Did work after pumping it for awhile but then died again the next day.

When the car is shut off I hear a loud air leak coming from like the brake booster area for a few minutes then goes away, haven't been able to find it and it hasn't effected the cars performance at idle. Hopefully tonight this sh*t will be right!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

-Not sure about the pump as I don't have one yet.

-You may also have a bad pivot bolt, or throwout bearing. They can also cause the pedal to stick to the floor.

-It's possible that the actual diaphram has a leak in the booster. If it's not causing problems, don't fix it I say.

-Was the gasket between the pump where it was taken apart,small piece had broke off. Fixed with High temp RTV.

-Clutch wasn't bled good enough and is now stiff as sh*t, and engages good

-Haven't gotten to the air leak yet but I'm doing good so far

Woohhoooooo
