The trans is a manual.

DOH! Now I see that little word "manual" in his first post. Yeah, never mind then! But for any reading that have an auto - a thing to try :)

Appreciate the responses as always.
I checked things over a little today, and everything appears to be fine.
I didn't have a chance to check the slave cylinder's range of movement but that is next place to look.
I looked a little at the accumulator and it appears to be nothing really special. I see a line that goes and a line that goes out. Is it just some kind of a reservoir that holds extra fluid?
