Yep, slave or master. Check the slave first perhaps, by peeling back the dust shield, where the thrust rod protrudes from, then the same with the masters rubber dust cover?: Looking for fluid of course.:

Hi and welcome to AO!
Enjoy your stay


No idea of the cost of replacement though - have you tried the tech sections?

Re: Newbie, hi to all members. Help!!!!

Welcome!

Sorry to hear about your clutch issue!

I'm ashamed to admit Mr Clutch replaced the slave or master cylinder (can't remember which) on my old 156... I wouldn't recommend them again although they were cheap at about £300... that was about £250 less than my local Alfa specialist.

Good luck with it.
