- I spent yesterday doing the annual fall maintanance on the MGA. This included changing the transmission fluid since I was worried that the high pressure additives in the Amzoil could corrode the sync

- I've had the same trouble bleeding my brakes with the mighty vac. So much so that I no longer use it on the MG. It does work well on my other cars. Ron 58 MGA

- Hmm. So two MGA's can't be sucked by a MightyVac? Odd story. I wonder if there was a slight pressure on the brake pedal would make a difference? That is, is the seal at the top of the piston in the m

- I've tried the Mityvac on the MGA and MGB no luck with either of them. I agree it is more work than the old pump the pedal routine. ...Art

- I found that suction does not work on my Sprite. I think that you are correct. The suction pulls air in from somewhere, possibly the slave cylinders. I found that even the pedal pumping method did n
