Try a new arm.... not second hand or modified as most of these are modified incorrectly..... I think that you are not getting the correct movement in the system

Have someone look while you depress the clutch pedal and see if the clutch arm is actually moving. I had a Clutch Slave cylinder lock up on me and had similar symptoms.

Hi Thanks for the replies, the arm does move in and out when the clutch is pressed it didn't until I bleed the system today, thought that its a falier in the servo so was thinking about replacing that but the one I got is pretty new and seams to work. Keep the surgestions coming.

Could the clutch bve sezzed up any way of checking or freeing up

Thanks
