thanks rod.
the padel when pressed floors out. but after pumping it , i does build some pressure. What do you think.

thanks

Please help. My clutch will not release . It only allows me to shift when the engine is vary hot. But once in gear, it holds perfect. No silping. At first start(mornings when cold) it's got no pressure. What can it be ? do i need to replace all of my clutch parts (new kit) or else?

thanks
Randy


Does the clutch pedal operate normally?
I would assume not given your brief description.


It could be as simple as bleeding the clutch hydraulics. Brake fluid in Master cylinder reservoir is too low.

It could require replacement of the clutch Slave or master cylinder. They can wear out.



It reads like the clutch hydrulic circuit needs to be bled. This may only be a temporary fix. You will want to check the outside of the master and slave cylinder for brake fluid. Change the leaky one. If neither are leaking you will be done with just the bleeding.
