Peeved Off

Thought i was going to be rebuilding my front axle not this weekend but next weekend but today my clutch decided to let go instead, master cylinder empty with fluid all over the floor and supposedly stuck in reverse ( son went to use it and all this happened ) lookerly it was on the drive when all this happened so i will go round and have a look and see whats up in the morning before i go to work

Be heartened, a clutch master cylinder is very easy to sort out and won't cost the earth.

Just make sure it is properly adjusted once rebuilt or you will have same issues I had

Yeah i am just unsure why son is saying its stuck in reverse but really hoping its just the slave cylinder as was going to do all this when i do the galv chassis up re-build early next year

Master is easy, if a bit time consuming.

Slave is a sod of a job!!! Getting that little plastic clip and the push rod behind it if it comes off is a total grrrrr of a job.

Gunsons bleed kit is highly recommended also!
