Guest Posted March 19, 2005 Usually a problem such as this is a worn clutch or more than likely you have a leaking slave or master cylinder on the hydraulic. I would first make sure the fluid level in the resivour is high enough to make it into the clutch system and if it is then I would bleed the system and see if that brings the clutch back. If the fluid level is low it will allow air to enter the system and you will have problems like this. Cheers, Dennis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mark28G60 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Have tried to bleed the system but clutch pedal is still going down all the way. What do people think, someone already mentioned the slave cylinder, is this that hard to change and what sort of money do u think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 20, 2005 Look for signs of fluid leaking from the master and slave (master is next to the brake servo and BMC and slave is ontop of the gearbox) Is it completly loose or does the feel some back if you pump the pedal?? Have you noticed the bite point getting lower down over the last few days?? - If so that indicates a fluid leak... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean to the top! :!: Because there is a wall inside the reservoir for the clutch. You need to add more oil than the max. mark! Otherwise you´ll be bleeding only air! :lol: After the job is complete remove the excess oil in the reservoir. 8) I had this issue some weeks ago! :oops: We are always learning! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
