Hello,
I have been having problems with my clutch pedal for a while now. I am almost certain it is the hydraulics as it works just fine most of the time. Occassionally the pedal does not come back up propoerly and today the slighest touch of my foot sent it sinking to the floor on it' s own (is there a ghost on board my 3.2 :~)
I think a plunger seal is getting stuck creating a negative pressure which sucks the pedal back.
My question is does anyone have any experience of this and if so which end of teh system it is most likely to be. In the end I know I should change both master and slave cylinders but it would be nice to get the faulty one done first.
I will take a hard look for leakage on the cylinders this weekend as this may indicate the answer - one question is what' s the best way to get to the gearbox slave cylinder - I assume under the car as without looking too hard I haven' t seen the slave from the engine bay.
Can anyone shed any rays of wisdom onto this task ?
Cheers, Steve E.
