Did some maintenance work on the car this Sunday:

- Replaced the cabin air filter (see picture of old one below)
- Oil change with synthetic Mobil 1
- Transmission fluid replaced with Torco RTF synthetic
- Clutch delay valve removed
- Stainless clutch line installed
- Clutch fluid flushed and bled. Old stuff was pretty gross

Need to get the swirls removed from the rearview mirrors. Going to try various compounds I have, if none of that works I bought some flexible adhesive-backed mirror plastic I could stick over the existing glass. Also need to replace the rear diff fluid and brake fluid.

What method did you use to remove the clutch delay? I’ve seen people replace the slave altogether and I’ve seen a method that looks a little more tedious.

I Dremel'd a slot into the area around the snap ring to be able to get a small screwdriver underneath one end of it, then pry it out. I tried using two picks, that didn't work. Others have drilled a hole near the ring to be able to get a pick in the area, but the slot was the best method.

There's no need to cut the slot as deep as in this picture, just do it deep enough that you can manipulate the snap ring.

Seems like all our cars have a cabin air filter that looks like that when we buy used. Makes me wonder what my other cars filters have or if they even have one.

I would have thought you learned that it's the fastest color by now....
