rg500 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Sounds like a master or slave cylinder, same thing happened to my van I did that and worked for a while,in the end I had to have a total clutch replacement done. Hopefully you will be ok.

Jellybean Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Thanks I replaced both slave and master ; one was leaking internally , too costly to take off and test , cheaper to replace , all good now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
