No, I still don't have my car back, but the initial diagnosis of a bad slave cylinder has been borne out -- and repaired, too, at about $20 more than the part alone was quoted to me.
They dug into the charcoal filter that's been making gas fill-ups so very slow, and -- as predicted -- it's leaked pellets and jammed up some of the associated tubing. Projected cost, a bit more than the clutch-hydraulics repair but once again, only slightly over what I'd have to pay for the part. And it's a real pain to get to, too.
Hoping to get my car back the day after tomorrow.
In the meantime, with Tam doing all the driving, I bought steak dinners at the reborn Aristocrat, which has risen phoenix-like from a fire a couple years ago and is better than ever!

Glad to know there's still some places that operate like that shop.
Glad you have someone you can trust. I'd do that job for free,but I wouldn't do it for $20, since the part only costs $27.
The charcoal cannister is another annoyance altogether. Thanks, Dick Nixon!
Bobbi, is it a Subaru? I had charcoal canister problems with the evil ex-wife's.
og, YOU might do it for free, but I'd insist on some of Roberta's cooking.
It would be worth the commute, I'm thinkin'.
It's a Hyundai. Known issue with this model
You didn't mention the overhead throw out valve...I wonder why.......
Maybe because I was talking about real things, with grown-ups?
Touche Madam!!!!!
