Clutch slave or master issues?

[scurran83]

Hi. If I push the clutch gently it goes right to the floor under no pressure and doesn't engage. If I jump onto the pedal it engages no problem. Think a cylinder is gone. Recommendations?

Best to replace both.

Any fluid leaks onto the carpet ?

No leaks anywhere. Fluid reservoir still ok. Is it big job replacing both?

Fiddly but do able. Makes sense to upgrade the flexi hose to a braided one at the same time too.

Inside the car to do the master it's easier if you take the front seat out but it's still a pig to get at.

The slave is equally nasty if you don't have the luxury of a ramp. You will need a wobble bar and plenty of extensions to get at it. I did mine on the road on axle stands in front of the house. Never again.

First post since joining the forum, yey .

One thing I'd say is be very careful not to round off the nuts that connect the clutch pipe to the master cylinder and slave flexi pipe. Otherwise you'll be cutting and flaring the pipe to get new connectors on.
