Tedb 0 Posted April 23, 2006 The Pedal on my 16v has got progressively soft in the last few days, the travel has also got noticeably shorter and it's getting difficult to get 1st gear when I start the car in the morning. In addition I'm losing quite an amount of fluid but after a fairly thorough check there is no evidence of leaks externally, around the master clyliner or around either of the slave cylinders, I think there's two. Could the fluid be leaking internally? Any advice appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ving60 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Sounds like the clutch slave, if your lucky it's not contaminated the clutch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 24, 2006 Yeah - look for signs of a fluid leak particuarly on top of the gearbox - may not see it tho as the slave leaks internally first - the original ones have a metal insert which rots away, especially if the fluid is not changed reguarly - new ones are plastic inside... Don't drive it if it's that bad as you rish bending the clutch fork, just get sorted asap, take the drivers mat out if you do need to drive it to a garage to give a bit more travel...
