I bought a used Ford Bronco a few days ago and the owner said that it started to ';buck'; when your in a low gear and slowing down. He said that that when he replaced the engine (not more than 20,000 miles ago) he stripped the back left head bolt and it caused the gasket to loose its seal and leak the oil, which was dripping onto the clutch and causing it to buck. Yesterday I was doing some routine maintenance (new spark plugs and distributor cap+roter) and attempted to loosen the screws by hand and noticed that they weren't moving, which kinda led me to suspect that the bolt wasn't stripped. Before I go about any more repairs, could it be oil on the clutch that is making it buck? I've searched Google and couldn't find anyone else with the problem.
If it helps, its a 86 Bronco II 5-speed tranny with a brand new crate 2.9L in it.Car is jumping? Original owner said leaking oil on clutch?
Yes, or a bad clutch.
