Should be a quick fix unless Z1 sent me the wrong parts, in which case I don't feel so bad about giving up.

Booooooo...... :eek:





I'll keep my fingers crossed for no mishaps.... :eekdance:

Great goal. My grocery getter is a 2007 RAV4. I often have to remember that I'm not in the Z when I pull out into traffic.

I'd love a big ol' 4 door Rubi sitting on 33's.

I just want something that can be WOT to get out of its own way.

A 4.0 TJ ain't too bad in that regard. Bulletproof engine, and tons of aftermarket support. The newer JK's went to a frickin minivan engine and couldn't get out of its own way. That was my only beef with mine. Full exhaust and a tune helped some, but it needed more for the size of the vehicle.

They can't get to me until late this afternoon because I had to request their low-friendly flatbed tow truck to minimize the chance of mishaps :tup:

I've been screwing with the clutch system for two weeks now. First weekend went well until a pop was heard during the bleeding process, which I thought was the master. No more pressure after that. I got a new master and ordered another slave just in case. Got the new master installed and did some bleeding this weekend with no success. Removed the slave cylinder and finally gave up when the new slave cylinder Z1 sent me did not appear to be the same length as the one I removed. I already emailed Z1 this morning with photos, so we'll see what they have to say. I'm having it towed to Austin Z Clinic, so hopefully Kevin will be able to figure it out without much trouble and get me back on the road asap.

Ehhhhhh...

Apparently, I just have to switch over the shorter threaded rod from my old slave cylinder to the new one. Many thanks to Spencer at Z1 for the quick response :tiphat:

Our CX-9 has a pretty stout 3.7 v6, it gets up and goes for a 4400lb SUV.

Dood that sucks to hear. I am dreading the day mine fails. Hopefully i can get a new clutch and fly wheel and replace all that at the same time before it fails.

Im at 43k now.
