[DML] Re: Clutch Problems

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Call up your favorite Delorean vender and tell him you need the folowing:
Clutch master cylinder
Clutch slave cylinder
Braided metal clutch line
3 pints of Castrol GTLMA DOT 4 brake fluid
While you are talking to him get a Workshop Manual if you don't
already have one, a drain plug adapter, and 2 oil filters, one for now
and another for the next time. Remove the loose, bubbling paint on the
frame where the brake fluid leaked and respray with Krylon Smoke Grey.
You can pick up a can at Home Depot. Pick up the carpet on the
driver's side and wipe up any brake fluid underneath.
