Bossyhogg Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I purchased an 84 RS 688 about three months ago and have been working it daily. I noticed that I had a faint air leak and thought I would get around to finding it. When I did, I noticed that of the six 1/4" lines running down the shifting tower the black one was cut off halfway down. All the lines are different color, if that matters. I have looked as much as I can to find where it was connected and can find no other line, fitting, or opening where it could have been connected. Is this supposed to be this way? It leaks when the shifter is in neutral and the splitter is in the direct position. When you put it in the over position it stops. All forward gears work jus fine. In reverse though I get a random " clank" when I use 3,4, or 5. Is this related? Any help would be appreciated.

mrsmackpaul Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 one of them is a vent to atmosphere and is meant to be open if the air is leaking a lot maybe time for a kit in the gear knob piece or maybe a regulator is set wrong Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46110-unconnected-airline-on-t1070/#findComment-339696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
