Subject: clutch hydraulic system ?'s

Date: 	Thu, 1 May 1997 21:30:41 -0500



Please help me if you can.  I have a 90 Miata that had its clutch replaced

approx. 6 mos. ago.  I took my baby in to get its oil changed at

University Mazda in Seattle and they told me that my clutch hydraulic

system needs to be replaced because it is leaking hydraulic fluid.  As I

review the 12 point inspection that I did not ask or pay for, it says

that the clutch slave cylinder has a leak.  Tell me, is this something

that needs to be taken care of immediately?  I am not sure how much I

trust this opinion.  This is the second time the dealership mentioned has

found something wrong with my car when it was in for an oil change and I

think they may be trying to put one past me.  I plan to take the car back

to the place that did the clutch and asking them what the deal is.  It

seems that this is still their problem regardless of the warranty.  Any advice 

or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks for your time.
