Clutch Issues

Post by GripGreg »

Guys
My clutch pedal has just started to go to the floor before I'm able to go into any gear.
In Buster it was the clutch master cylinder that tends to go first; was replaced & everything is good.
Since they're both E12 based, I'm thinking the same for Rosallina. Am I correct?
Thanx in advance,,,,Greg

If it's using fluid, it's almost always the slave. If it's not using fluid it's the master, they bypass internally usually without any external leakage.

Thanx, Mike.
My mechanic has just replaced the master cylinder.
I hope he dumped the fluid out of the brake bomb! :roll:
