HA! love it. Also a Euro fan? As am I. My other car is MK4 Jetta with some work.

Unfortunately for MN there are just not a lot of places to really wheel. A couple of trails maybe up north but nothing for sure within decent distant from twin cities area. So we have more 4X4's than buyers...

Thanks everyone for your input. penbergm: you're right, the 85 is definitely more desirable. But hard to find in good shape anymore. shawski:No accidents, mechanically sound as the new parts mentioned were done by me when I got it. I was my grandfathers when he bought new. I actually have a...

Thinking of selling my Runner. I need a bigger vehicle and no garage space...:sobbing: I have been looking around and it is really tough to tell what this thing is worth now. So I ask the folks that know best to give me an honest opinion of what she is worth. So here goes- 1987 SR5 22-RE 4cy...

bump up. Any ideas folks? All my mounts solid, everything clean. Seems to keep pressure in the slave cylinder as you drive it. Maybe master not bled properly or releasing pressure?

So I've checked the bracket and all is good there. I think I have a better explanation though. Still not sure how to fix it. After bleeding the slave cylinder the pedal feel is back to normal. When I go for drives over 30 min the clutch grip slowly goes to the end of the pedal again. I think I...

That is exactly how it works. Japanese Classics is great. There is months worth of planning and critical paperwork that needs to be filed in order to import a car into this country. Stupid 25yr policy....

Brake line wrenches Just a tip, if you can do it get the brake flaring tool from Eastwood. Professional Brake Tubing Flaring Tool - Brake Flaring Tool - Brake Tube Flaring It is spendy but wow does it do an amazing job the first time and every time. If you think you wont ever use it again...

I did do that yes. Interesting. I will check that when I get home but I don't think so. To fix the issue temporarily I bled the slave cylinder to bring it back farther. So it seems that when the cylinder moves out by depressing the pedal, but doesn't move back as far as it should when you...

'87 22RE- New Clutch replaced, new clutch master and slave installed I replaced the clutch a couple months ago. Everything went fine. Clutch still engages at the end of pedal travel though. So I adjusted the clutch master cylinder and bled the slave a bit. Worked great to get the clutch pedal...

Look into the ZUK mod for an easy fix. There are many different versions. Weld vs. no weld options. That's my plan though I have not done it yet.

I am in need of a new exhaust and would like some advice. I have 78,000 mi on her and would like to put many more on. Right now all that needs replacing is the cat back but I was thinking maybe do the whole shebang headers back. Do any of you notice a decent enough difference in power when...

So I bought the SACHS clutch kit from Rock Auto here: More Information for SACHS KF62801 I believe this comes with the pilot and throwout bearing as part of it correct? then I just need to get the Main seal:More Information for ATP RO29 I certainly do not want to throw things..(bad shoulder) :)

It grabs at the very end of the pedal and slips when I give it torque. I am pretty sure it is just a bad clutch, I was just hoping that there might be some sort of adjustment I wasn't seeing. What adjustment are you referring to? KidV- I will add the bearings to my parts list thanks...

Thanks for the tip! I got a new clutch and flywheel already. I'll get a main seal too then. are these difficult to replace? I have never gone as far as taking down a transmission before so hope for the best.
