Here is a Monday afternoon progress update from Matt:
[FONT="]Bled the clutch more, everything seemed to be fine, went out for a drive today and by the end of the drive it was mushy again and couldn't engage reverse without shutting the truck off. I'm going to replace the master and hose.
Seems that everything that's original on the truck is just worn out/leaking/tired.
Jeep temp sending unit isn't reading right either so I'm going to replace that. Grounded connection and it goes right to max so the gauge and wiring are good.
Coolant also sprayed everywhere due to a bad cap on the radiator.
The oil pan gasket is also seeping so I'm going to do without the gasket and just silicone seal it like Mk4's are, I did the same on my ahu in my rabbit truck.
The alignment is also wayyyy off, it's toe'd out in the front badly. It's twitchy and all over the road.
I don't have a single good n75 here apparently so I'm going to grab also. They all are leaking vacuum out the vent port so boost control is all over the place.
Last bit of bad news, the left rear rim is bent like all hell. It has a good 1/4"-3/8" wobble in it spinning on the hoist. [/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Good news, tach works and i adjusted it to read correct 900prm at idle, heater valve operation works, and it has 5 miles on it now .[/FONT]

[FONT="]Matt likely means 5 kilometers on the truck - Originally sold in Canada, so metric speedometer/odometer. JJ
