clutch problem............. HELP

[TW166Y]

Right im not to clever when it comes to clutches or much else come to think of it anyway my clutch started to diassapear on me yesterday, i thought nothing of it... dont ask me why came to start her up this orning and pressed in clutch and again, felt very soft and the clutch didnt come back up, the bite on the clutch was right at the bottom of the pedal, causeing it to jerk forward like anything because its too hard to control! i was installing my ice stuff this afternoon and had the drivers colum trim off and i saw that the clutch pedal was really damp, i dipped the clutch and there it was, "the problem" while the clutch was pressed it was ousing out clutch fluid all under my mats and has now absolutly soaked my carpet! seems to be leaking from a rubber boot of some sort... any ideas fellas?

thanks

that'll be the seal on the clutch master cylinder twigg...

GSF, Euro Car Pants, and other places do them for about £20-30 i think. not too bad a job

Change the slave at the same time, or you'll be doing it a fortnight later.

yeah, heard of this happening a lot!! dont forget to bleed the system properly too. and use dot4 brake fluid

yep, like the master says... get them both done at the same time!

Mine lasted oh about 10 days! (did slave first, then master) But I got it done at a garage so wasnt cheap!
