Hello everyone
I recently acquired an Iron Pig, 1975 FJ55, in Central America.
Truck is in relatively good shape considering its age and environment.
This is my first Land Cruiser and I'm super stoked to finally be apart of this elite club of LC owners and enthusiast.
That being said, I'm already dealing with my first issues, one month in to owning her.
Truck drives great but suddenly the clutch got super soft and stopped working....at the same time I was driving with my brights on and all the sudden my headlights stopped working.
I've read through a threading discussing clutch issues in 55's and did some research on how a clutch works, in an attempt to better understand the issue I am having.
The master cylinder reservoir was dry upon inspection and was leaking from rod that enters the master cylinder of the clutch. I'm guessing its a bad master cylinder or a bad seal in the cylinder???
Any help would be greatly appreciated
