MT Accumulator Delete Mod (ADM) and BS Thread

If it’s not under warranty, this trucks getting traded in for a real man’s truck: a Honda Ridgeline.

 

Aren't you supposed to do those from the top down? IE through the cab after pulling the shifter and center console?

 

LoL!

No dams either.

 

the MT crew is a good bunch even if we are dicks sometimes lol

 

Sometimes? Sheesh!

 

Used 24" plus 12" extensions, came in from the back behind the tail shaft. Unless you have super small hands to get through the shifter hole. Like, 5year kid size hands.

 

That was a pain in the ass. Im ready when you get that URD clutch and flywheel!

 

Sorry I got distracted by the Google results for “grown man naked”...but I’ve never seen that Zero Hour movie, I didn’t realize they made movies in ‘57!! Is this one of those 8 tracks the old people talk about??

 

And?

 

8track movies were the best!

 

8mm home movies...no sound

 

I lost a bunch of those. Always told the folks to convert them.

I have a bunch of 8mm video tape that should be looked after.

 

I lost a good part of my documented childhood in film due to divorce and death...im ok with that. I mean, I was cute AF and sported a cherubic charm unmatched...hooked the gals every time. You know them 30 yr olds that gushed over a 3 yr old blond haired boy frolicking on a beach...much of it nude. Me, not the cougar.

But that nuance is lost when there is no sound.

 

Hahahaha. Sounds very familiar.

I enjoyed messing with the projectors also. The good old days.

 

I have had my "new to me truck" for about 3 1/2 months, driven it 3K miles. I changed the transmission fluid to Redline MT about a month after I got the truck. From my observations, the accumulator function, if you want to call it "gets better", after the clutch fluid warms up to operating temperature. Especially when shifting from 1st to 2nd. You can feel in the clutch pedal something is struggling before it reaches operating temp. I still sometimes have issues while waiting at a long stop light in neutral of being able to get it back into 1st gear. Depressing the clutch a few times before the light turns green helps but we all know you shouldn't have to do that. My '95 Tacoma clutch worked flawlessly till the day it went to the crusher! I've learned to deal with its quirks, I just need to do this ADM, lol

 

Hold off a bit longer, I’m enjoying all the attention!!!!

 

ok so i bled the line 5 times this weekend to get as much air out as i could, i let full streams come flying out...so my issue is there is a 1/2 inch gap or so from the peddle to the piston when you press or release...any ideas?...this past weekend makes the 3rd weekend in a row that i've bled the line...i don't think there can be anymore air in the line so i don't think that would be the cause....

 

A 1/2in gap? The m/c stroke is only about 1in. How's your engagement point feeling? It should be about the same after the ADM.

The thing here is that with the m/c stroked at all, the compensation port is blocked, so the system will not draw fluid or relieve pressure.

You might want to try a gravity bleed. This should push the air out. Be sure that the m/c is fully extended and don't let the reservoir go dry / suck air. The fluid flow will be faster than the air bubbles moving up in the line.

 

it feels better than it did i won't lie....i was going to say 1 inch but didn't want to make it worse than it is...just bleeding this weekend helped a lot..so basically just open the line from underneath and have someone standing there with a bottle ready to pour? what is m/c? having a typical monday and can't think of what it is

 

I appreciate the ADM still on every drive.

Sorry! M/C is Master Cylinder.

It won't drain so fast that you need two people. The compensation port is pretty small and the reservoir is pretty big.
