check fluids and clutch slave for leaks etc
The springs in the clutch plate have disintergratted then mate.
These have either trapped the plate open against the pressure plate or fell out reducing the assisted movement you already put on the clutch during regular use.
New clutch for you!
I did know one GT owner who had his clutch changed and then found out there was limited fluid in it...Originally Posted by lowandslow
i have changed slave cylinder bout 2 months ago and brake lines and pads and fluid only fluid not changed was gearbox
Tripple post FTW...
Are sportings not cable clutch anyway? Wouldnt matter how much brake fluid was in it then...
Forget the above post then.
Its the clutch plate like i said in post 2.
no i dont think there cable i pinched a slave off one from scrappies
no its hydrolic i forgot to mention ive had the car since feb and have found that sometimes i cant get it into first and other times it just glides in dont know if that means anything
This happened to my brothers Mrs's car, ended up being the thrust bearing broke apart and the pressure plate lost about 5 of them teeth spike thingy doofers lol
