Reply to "No Clutch"

FWIW, home-repair of a stock clutch slave is usually wasted effort. True, there are repair kits made for several other cars that can be adapted to sort-of-fit the Pantera. But the relief is often short-lived. First, the design is extremely simple with one seal which doesn't have much tolerance. So when you home-hone the corrosion pits out, the resulting bore is often bell-mouthed or expanded enough that the adapted seal in a rebuilt cylinder may instantly leak under pressure. I equate this with fine-tuning OEM ignition points: even when done perfectly, you know it won't last. Next, the cast iron used by the factory in our slave cylinders seems particularly soft and corrosion-prone. Some guys have found rust inside the bore of brand new cylinders still in a factory box.
The pitting and leaks normally happen due to NOT changing clutch (and brake!) hydraulic fluid yearly- maybe biannually in coastal areas. And its been found that using silicone fluid does not cure the collection of water inside the cylinders, either. Unless the hydraulic fluid is changed regularly, brand-new pits will develop rapidly in new-stock or repaired-stock ass'ys. Corrosion-resistant stainless steel or hard-anodized aluminum master & slave sets cheaply compensate for our poor maintenence habits- mine included.
