Just bought a 02 plate Diesel PT cruiser with a clutch problem; anyone done any work on one?
it still does have a clutch pedal but its very spongy at the top and feels normal at the bottom of the pedal, drove it back by starting it in gear. If i dipped the clutch completely it was crawling/ biting so i suspect slave cylinder problem. The slave is internal on these
I "think" the last owner let the fluid get low, so i'm going to try and bleed it first, my idea was to cut the hydraulic line and put a T piece/ bleed nipple in, good idea or bad?
If not, has anyone dropped the gearbox on one? difficult. Or can suggest a proven bleeding procedure
Cheers

Used to sell parts for them, that was a big enough pain in the arse in itself!
On a more useful note, I think there was a "rework" on something to do with the Clutch...? Sorry to be vaige, it was a while ago....!

Firstly, if it has a hydraulic clutch there should already be a blead nipple for it.
Secondly, what made you buy one? especially one with a fault? They're right ugly fuckers.
Anyway, hope you get the problem sorted.
