Hey,

A bit of a backstory first, I've been using the car and it was driving perfectly, one day after driving the car the night before with no problems I had a clutch as I took the car out of gear, as I went to drive off I had nothing, no pressure at all,

I checked the slave cylinder and once I removed the rubber boot it was filled with fluid, so I changed that slave cylinder with another one I had and all was good until a couple of days later.

The exact same thing happened but as I was out driving, the clutch slowly got worse and worse, lost all pressure in the clutch, fluid out of the end of the slave again, tried bleeding it and I couldn't get any pressure up but air was coming out, in the end I adjusted the two nuts on the wok and got the clutch working again bled it and off I went, was working for a couple of days as I thought I'd fixed it

I've just driven it again today and I only just made it back to the garage as the clutch had gone again,

What do we think the problem is? Is the arm over extending? Or something else?

Thanks

Callum

so you have clutch pressure put no pressure in the hydraulics to allow the clutch to work.

 

then master or slave cylinders of you have a leak in the hose or connections.

As long as it's not the clutch itself I'm happy,

Why do you think I'm getting fluid out of the end of the slave cylinder? That's what made me think that it was over extending, and what did winding the nut in on the wok do?

The seals have went in the slave cylinder, best to buy new
