Mechanic thinks the pressure sw on the left side is bad. Very little fluid comes out of the nipple when brake pressure is applied. Could be why the rotor has not been used in the last 100 miles of stop and go. I hope that is what the problem is.
He also said the RMS leaks badly? I thought it just leaks. There is more tranny fluid on the outside than the inside, great undercoating! The mechanic said that if he revs it to 2500 rpm, the tranny will go into reverse without killing the engine - but wait until the drive shaft falls off! This car needs to come home soon to get some TLC and good parts.
Strandberg in Wisc. has a M410 from a 1975 with about 80K miles. Haven't called yet to ask about shifter and brake/clutch pedal stuff. Interesting possibility.
I found a kit to refurbish the brake booster. Think I will try it, $20, in a week or two.

Life is more fun when my finger nails have grease under them,
