Atki 0 Posted March 30, 2014 Hi all Mine is a very high mileage Vr6 and the latest to occur is the the clutch pedal not returning to it's normal position. When I depress it I cannot get reverse at all!!! Stick in first and the car is off with pedal still to floor. I suspect it's the master cylinder. Is it difficult to change? I know I can get one delivered how hard can it be. Yet again friends and fellow Rado owners I need help !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted March 30, 2014 Not difficult. Access is poor but not the end of the world. 2 nuts and a clip onto the clutch pedal itself. The slave cylinder is more of a pig though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted March 30, 2014 Sure it's not the Slave Cylinder? - You can access it from the top, as my mechanic recently did mine. Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted March 30, 2014 You can physically get at the slave OK but it under coolant pipes and getting onto the bolts that hold it in place tend to be a pig! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atki 0 Posted April 2, 2014 Hi Ian. How will I know which one has gone please? Or am I going to have to replace both of them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted April 2, 2014 It's a lottery to be honest. If you have recently bleed the clutch line or let the fluid run low then chances are you have damaged the master, otherwise no sure fire way unfortunately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atki 0 Posted April 2, 2014 Had a feeling that would be the answer. must admit at the present time I'm sulking and the car is in my garage sitting idle. I havn't fiddled with anything so far but the fluids are fine. There are not any leaks anywhere and I havn't bled the clutch line. I'm gunna try the master and see what happens. Thanks for the advice though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted April 3, 2014 When the slave went on mine it thru' fluid all over the floor so was pretty obvious! Perhaps therefore it is the master cylinder? Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted April 3, 2014 I had a similar issue a couple of years ago, turned out the clutch release fork was broken http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=45225&page=2&highlight=Clutch+pedal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
