hmm i looked over the sonnax sure cure kit and I see that you are messing with small section of accumulator body , that hold the 3-4 accumulator valve. I would check to see if the valve maybe hung. them valves are very touchy and sonnax makes a bore sizer for them.
]their are three bolts that you install the holds the center support and intermediate od cylinder in place. I would check to see if they are loose or missing. I know this may sound like stupid question but their is snap ring the hold od clutchs in the case and is it their?
The center console is not exactly black. Its called charcoal black,which I am finding it out the hardway because I had somebody recover my arm rest lid with black and it did not match at all.
