300tdi clutch problem
After spending the last 2 days replacing the seal at the rear of the flywheel,I finaly got everything back together,tried the clutch & the pedal went straight to the floor.I looked underneath,there was clutch fluid leaking out of the wading plug hole in the bell housing.
I took out the slave cylinder & the piston was completely out of the cylinder.The push rod was in place in the clutch fork.
Any ideas what I have done wrong,or why it's done this?
Thanks in advance.
Marc

either the clutch fork has punched through or the release bearing has dropped off the fork - both might allow the piston to overextend and pop the seals, either way it would be box out again Big Cry

I had an hour spare this afternoon,so I had a poke about in the hole where the slave cylinder goes.I could feel the little recesed socket where the push rod sits,but it dousent feel to be in the correct positionI poked a screwdriver in there & tried to push the clutch fork,but it's solid.I guess the fork has moved out of it's position.

The stripdown has begun. Big Cry
