R32 Clutch Problems

[Space Ninja]

Hey guys,

Just had this happen to me today - wondering if anybody has experienced this before or has any idea of what I can try. Got into my R32 and when I go to engage the clutch and a gear, I find it incredibly hard to select a gear, the clutch pedal engages normal and doesnt feel like it goes straight to the floor (has some feeling)

I limped the car home in 2nd/3rd and it was getting increasingly hard to select a gear - once I got home I couldnt select 1st/2nd from a standstill and had to roll it into the driveway - One thing I noticed was when I was at a standstill with the clutch pedal pressed in, the car would still very slowly take off (as if the clutch was still engaged) At this stage the car is undrivable so I'll have to sort something out soon for it - I checked the fluid levels and everything else looks fine - this has happened very suddenly and it has no other signs of issues at the moment.

Anybody got any ideas what I can try?

Cheers

clutch is getting worn out and slave cylinder cant push springin far enough to fully disengage it . check clutch fluid resivior

and or give it a bleed . or make sure the hose isnt ballooning . or either cylinder isnt leaking . does the clutch slowly engage drive ( in gear ) if you hold it in for ages ?(act like you are letting the clutch out slowly even tho pedal is still right to floor

Hey dude,

thanks for the response, I went and checked it out, I undid the nipple near the fluid resovior and bled it a little - it seems okay now (the engagement point is really high compared to near the floor, so I'm wondering if the clutch is nearly gone) its drivable now but I'll get it checked out tomorrow. Not other leaks with the system and everything else seems to be okay.

Cheers for the advice
