Clutch Pedal

[Richard gal]

Today the gear changing got a little notchy.

I noticed the pedal was not coming back up fully, so hooked it up with foot and all was well, this happened a few times.

Question is; is it just a sticky pedal or something wrong at the other end.

 

Fluid level OK BTW

Its a known fault with the main/slave cylinder and will progressively worsen.

 

The solution is to fit a new master cylinder which is a major job, then if that also fails you have to fit a new master cylinder again and have the slave changed also. This requires the removal of the gearbox as it is an integral part of the clutch plate and can only be changed as part of a clutch change.

 

I have the same and am about to get the shooting match changed.

Oh great!

 

Just still under warranty, will i get it done free before it gets bad?

 

Does it start to lose fluid?

Make sure you report the fault before the warrantly runs out - it may be worth putting it in writing if they argue about whether or not they are prepared to change the clutch.
