motorbill, I did accually push the car in both directions while the car was running and in neutral...with ease. by your comment: Yeah, the jacking up and dropping thing, I thought that you were agreeing with this method.  Are you disagreeing from a safety standpiont or because it may messs the car up more? Another thread on another ...

motorbill, Just to clarify, I meant that the binding would have been whiole the car is down OFF the jack stands (when the full wieght of the car is on the ground...Not when the car is up on the stands. Your suggestion to drop the car in gear is noted...should I use 1st gear or a higher gear when I do this?  joel

the power unit?  Are you refering to the overdrive? A frind suggesed that to him it sounds like something is binding...since I can shift the gears with the car up on jacks but not when the car is sitting on the ground with the wieght of the car on it.  He suggested to take the drive shaft off and see it I could change gears that way ...

ed, this car has sat in my garage for 5 years and before that, it sat at it's previous location for a couple years there as well''  It has sat, undriven, for at least 6+ years. joel

ed, I think I'll have to take your explanation and refer to the books to make sense of it all...I do appretiate your trying to clerify how it all works. thanks, joel

ed, What I don't understand is that if I put the gears in 1st then straight into reverse from 1st, then the gears are already moving in the forward direction then slamming them into the opposite.  Maybe I don't understand how the system works that well, but to me it seems that by doing that it would mess things up even more.  ...

motorbill, I took the master apart...nothing seemed to be out of order with it.  The seals looked good, it wasn't put together wrong, the bore seemed to be smooth.  I cleaned it up, honed out the bore and put it all back together.  I put some teflon tape on the threads of the fitting that fits into the banjo fitting just to be ...

mororbill, thanks for your info, haven't heard from you in awhile. I will take out the master cylinder again and check the seals and the bore.  I have already taken the slave apart twice within the last 2 days.  I'm sure that this is in good condition.  I will get back to you again after I have bled the line again. Also ...
