Could the snow and ice knacker my clutch?
Just drove aprox. 2 miles with no clutch. Pedal travels half way down with no feeling then won't travel any further! Confused Could the snow and ice have jammed up the mechanism? Clutch was replaced not that long ago.
Any other ideas?
Cheers

water contamination, but rearlly unlikely. If you got water then the pipe would have broken. Strange.

The disc travels freely along the slippery input sfhaft and pushed by the bearing. Air in the system. Puma 110" SW

Full of fluid etc. Sounds like its the clutch release fork, the pivot wears through it and jams it. Thanks for the suggestions though! Thumbs Up Ben
