Hi,

Need help - is this to do with slave cylinder?

And is the slave cylinder in the gear box or on top?

I have recently had problems with my clutch, this came out of the blue and happened in less than an hour of driving. I think it is my slave cylinder and just wondered if anyone had any similar symptoms:

Clutch was slow to come up.
Then it felt hard and got stuck half way down.
It also became hard so I couldn't even push it down a mm.
Lastly after waiting for 5 minutes, the clutch went down fine, however once down I put car in gear, however the revs shot up when I pressed on accelerator and my car carried on rolling back, - zero power to wheels. It took around 5 seconds for the clutch to actually engage the engine.

I managed to get car home, by taking it very slow on the way up when using the clutch. Power does go to wheels but takes while to engage.

Please respond urgently.

Cheers

Marc

So does it sound more like slave? Master cylinder doesn't seem to b leaking. But is it worth replacing master first. If theres no leak masters probably not gone has it? Cheers
