[QUOTE="Oakdave, post: 1412430, member: 29079"] Thanks to both of you for following this and your kind words. So far, so good. It's been five days and several hundred miles of riding since replacing the slave cylinder...and the problems (chattering/stuttering when engaging from neutral to 1st...and 2nd->1st gear downshifting delays) have not come back. Before changing the slave cylinder, bleeding the clutch fluid would solve the problem for just a couple of days before those problems would reappear. Obviously, that was because the clutch fluid bleed would clear out the air in the line...for a moment (a couple days)...then the air would slowly suck back in and I was back to square one. That 'clutch bleed fix' was implemented over and over (by me) for several months--until it got to that point where it was needing to be performed every few days. That's when the straw broke the camel's back, so to speak. Again, the fact that it's already been more than a couple of days-- of troublefree engagement and low-gear downshifting-- since having replaced the slave cylinder is, I believe, a pretty strong indication that the problem is 100% solved (at least as long as something else does not cause air to start getting sucked into the clutch line again). In closing, I do not plan on adding any more to this post UNLESS I discover that this solution turns out to be something other than that. Otherwise--for those of you who have been following along-- just assume that 'no news is good news'. Ciao! [/QUOTE]
