Update to this problem.

Replaced slave cylinder today and adjusted the clutch at the slave cylinder. When I adjust it enough to engage the gears(when the motor is running) I now have the clutch slipping. I am pretty certain that I have bled the air out.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks Blacky, fingers crossed!

I drove home from work yesterday all fine. Drove the car out of the garage this morning all fine, left the car running in neutral, closed the garage door, and when I hopped in and went to put the car into gear ...

Thanks Harv

Going to rehash this as I have the same issues.
Hit 55 to 65 mph(on my speedo) and when accelerating all is good, when decellerating all is good but when the engine speed matches the car speed, I get some serious vibrations. I have replaced engine and gearbox mounts to no avail.

Hi Guys,

Thanks Trev, pretty happy about how the van is coming along. Should look a whole lot better when I get them rims and tyres off you later in the month and lower it into the weeds.

Hi Harko, I purchased the van from a fellow in Cabramatta as WOT179 said.

Hi Guys,

Hi Trev,
That sounds like a great offer! Let me get this straight. 3 rims + 5 tyres = $200
What condition are the tyres in?
I'm in Sydney but will be driving down to Camperdown late October for Camperdown Cruise. Any chance if I decided to buy these that I can pick them up then. I will come and pick ...

Hi Wayne,
It most certainly is. Are you going to tug I the park tomorrow?

Hi Guys,

Just a little bit more info on what I require.

I have a FB Panelvan that I would like to lower a lot, but the 13 inch dragways that I have dont have the right offset to let me do this, and I want steel rims.

I have
-HR disc brake front end, so would like either HT/HG 14 inch rims or ...
