Hi Folks,
My clutch had to be pumped to get into 1st or reverse gear. We checked the slave cylinder and no leaks evident. We drained the master cylinder and found traces of black residue on the bottom of the master cylinder cup. The fluid was dark brown.
We refilled the cup on a number of occasions but it keeps pumping through air and the clutch is very very light.
Could it be the master cylinder rubbers? If so, is it hard to remove? :depressed: I know the nut that secures the pipe to the cylinder appears tight and there is little room to put leverage on a spanner
PS the car has been standing a long time and has only completed 800 kilometres from new.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Neil
