Hey All

today, while driving around, noticed my shifting was getting tougher..(91 3vze 5spd 4x4) got to the point where it wouldnt go in reverse without double clutching...and 4th was nasty too....get it home..and notice steam / smoke coming up from the passenger side....

traced the source of the smoke well almost..and it seems to be coming from somewhere around the slave cylinder to the left of the bleeder valve..? im assuming its dripping on my exhaust (headers and thats whats causing the smoke)

truck runs fine..and the master cylinder was a bit low....but not dry.....topped it up...but havent had a chance to try it again.....

does this sound like a simple leak in the hydrauilic system...or bad slave or?.....

Thanks

Paul
