the reason the mechanic put a spring there was because he knew i was in a tight economic spot and i really needed a car for where i lived- it was a genius move but he did tell me he had no idea how long the spring would last for.

as for the springs collapsing, the mechanics apprentice heard this from someone who had worked with exactly that type of car before- i never saw the collapsed springs or anything from it- they did try to add fluids to the master cylinder to no avail. so we assumed it would be the master cylinder itself- it wasnt. and theres only limited options for who the sinner was, and so the slave cylinder it had to be. i should have asked to see the worn parts the next mechanic pulled out but he didnt have anything interesting to tell me- i could give him a call to hear if he remembers anything

looking around on the internet i see its not that big of an operation to take the parts out and have a look inside to see whats really going on, and since ill be taking off the plates soon and i have a new old car now, i should have plenty time to mess around with my MG ZT meanwhile, even a blind hen finds corn - and i happen to have a spare slave cylinder as the next mechanic i took my car to wouldnt use the part i ordered because he earns some of his money from the parts- also something-something parts guarantee on his end - maybe i really need to give him a call after all? hm?

i was given additional hope hearing that people who race illegally can very rapidly swap out a clutch by tilting the car sideways which somehow helps the operation massively- new old car has a blown cylinder and with just 25% the power has same fuel consumption and even first day welcomed me by having a tire blowing up on the highway. my fiancé and my priest- and everyone inbetween approves that the MG ZT is a beastly machine so im gonna try to see if working a handful of years on maintenance will pay off with this mission im gonna take on now. i will try to post progress
