So Red's clutch pedal went pow and disappeared at the stoplight up the road. I used the starter in 1st gear and drove him all the way home at 20 mph with the pissed of millennials lined up behind me.
The plastic thingy that connects the clutch pedal to the clutch master cylinder broke. I was pulling my hair out doing searches for the part on the computer. I decided to print out a photo of the assembly diagram and take the part (with the broken part number on it) to the Ford dealership and say HERE. I was just about to go out the door when Sue Unit said, "Hey, look at this." She'd found the whole brake master cylinder with the needed part attached. Sold. Red's crew chief scores again!
In the meantime I can do some more YouTude mechanicin' to determine if replacing the brake master cylinder is within my (lack of) scope or do I steal the thingy off of the new one and keep on going. I got stuck in Red's floorboard just getting to the broken part and it's 100+ degrees out there with the heat index and Unit was in the shower and didn't even know I was out there and for a few moments I was pretty sure this is how it all ends, right here in the driveway hung underneath Red's pedals.
