Parts SYSTEM fail!

They went to install the new slave cyclinder, and it was the wrong part, clearly.
I saw one on Amazon and Ebay, so maybe try those if regular system fails to find the part anywhere.

Holiday Update

Slave cyclinder came in today, installing it tomorrow.

Slave update

Yep, the slave cylinder is toast. Seems it was ruined when the bolts connecting it to the transmission came loose/ pulled out. This is due to them being too short. No idea WHY they were too short. They found the part, but it'll take a few days to get in. They (may?) need to heli-coil the holes in the transmission. Total price about $300 out the door. This is the first somewhat major problem I've had. All the other problems have had easy inexpensive fixes.

cars are magic, powered by smoke and liquid

Let the smoke or fluids out, and they stop running. In this case, DOT 3 Brake fluid from the Clutch Master Cylinder. I noticed a pool of liquid at work, but didn't seem to be below the part of my car where it should have been to be the problem, although it was a recent pool.
The leak seems to be from the Release (Slave) Cylinder, as I can see it dripping from there. Towing has it, and it's on its way back to the shop.

UPDATE:
I'd need to go through the trash, but when I cleaned out the car, I swear there was a receipt from the previous owner for a slave cylinder.

Driving notes: Day 1

Did my morning chores and drove to work.
-Can't tell if the car pulls right, or if the steering wheel is offset left.
-Lost clutch for a bit. Playing around with the clutch pedal I pushed it all the way down. Heard and felt a clunk. Next time I drove the car the pedal wouldn't return after a push. I was able to get it back, and did another chore only engaging the pedal enough to shift (or enough to start the car). It was better on the way to work. We'll see how it is on the way home tonight.

-tires are loud. Shop notes say loud suspension, so I may be confused.

-Dome light out. Mentioned before. Keeping it in the middle position, which should be Light on When Doors Open.

-Battery weak? The car starts, but feels like it barely starts.

-Steering wheel is missing a thumb-nub. This is annoying.

Going to drive it after dark. The headlights turn on but are hazy. We'll see how bad they are. Also, my mailbox is on a steep hill, so starting after getting the mail may be hard.

UPDATE:
The car pulls right. If the steering wheel was off, the car would track straight.

Cleaning

Evidently, my car is black. Took it to the local quarter wash, and spent a dollar vacuuming out the interior, and $2 washing the outside. Didn't get it totally soap-free, but I'm not worried. Back at home, I took my California Duster and wiped the instrument panel and the dash. That helped a lot. Before all this, I cleaned all the parts from the trunk and threw away a couple (rusty cams, water pump, gasket boxes and gaskets). Weather was in the low 50s so I'm sure nothing froze. I also installed the license plates.

While both headlights work, they are hazy, and the right is cracked badly. That's ok as I have a replacement.

So, next on the list is checking the airbox for a K&N filter, downloading the manual for the radio, and driving it to work.

Extra parts

Here's a list of the extra parts that came with my GTX:

Used Water Pump (TOSS)

The items with (TOSS) are ones I'm going to throw away.
