zach42o1 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 As I pulled uo to a stop rhis morning my clutch pedal stayed on the floor. I pulled it up and pumped it a few times. Im thinking slave cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispot Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 if the slave cylinder is leaking then it could be at fault, if there is no fluid loss then i would say master cylinder regards chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach42o1 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yeah the reservoir was full. The fluid was a bit brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I had the same problem - was the master cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach42o1 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks. Should i bother to change the slave also. The car has about 100k miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The cylinders are very cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Bleed hole in master cylinder probably bunged up, it's tiny. Bet the fluid is very dirty. Remove, strip, properly clean, and blow out master cylinder with compressed air. Fit new seal kit, re-assemble, use new fluid and bleed thoroughly. Cross fingers.

zach42o1 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I ordered a rebuild kit for the master and a new slave. Hopefully I can get it sorted this weekend. Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideexitsupra Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I had the same issue last year. Swapped the master first but this didn't solve it so then the slave. All good after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Wrong way round Tim. Did the slave first, turned out to be the master cylinder and most likely the problem you are experiencing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
