Myclutch has been slipping for ages now.Today though,all of a sudden it had gone.The pedal is as light as a feather,and it is VERY hard to put in gear.I had toforce it into first.Im hoping its just the clutch,but could it be the box as well?

The pedal has lost almost all pressure,and will not return to 'home'position..

Maybe the master/slave cyliner is also gone?

Is it usual for a clutch to go like that,i thought they mostly just slipp to the end?

what are the sure signs of damage to these components?

yeh could be your slave cylinder, check to see if hydrolic fluid is leaking in the rubber boot behind the pedal. that could be why your pedal is so light.

cheers

will do this arvo.

got a quote for a 5 finger clutch,new bearing,machined flywheel and labour $1000.

hey

i had the same problems,

it was really hard to get into first gear. (the others where fine)

the pedal was really loose and easy to push to the floor

The smell from the clutch after car is stopped was really strong like burning / oil smell.

Got it checked out and it was more than i thought.

At first i thought it was a burnt out clutch.........

It was but it was due to a faulty seal from the engine rear, where it meets the trans. oil was leaking into onto the clutch and burning it like a mofo much quicker than normal.

the pedal brackets on one side popped off, which made it soo easy to push,

i can change gears with 2 fingers now hehehe

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
