Hi There

Bit of a problem developed with my car tonight. I noticed that it was getting a bit stiff to put into gear with the engine running. Switched it off and the gear change is absolutely fine. Started it up again and within a couple of miles it became impossible to select a gear with the engine running.

Once again, with it switched off, selection isn't a problem. I was able to get it up the driveway by switching the engine off to get into reverse and starting up with clutch depressed.

I checked the clutch fluid and the reservoir is full.

Could it be master or slave cylinder maybe or something worse?

Thanks in advance

Could be the flexy hose to the clutch slave cylinder. I have read somewhere that when they begin to fail they can swell up and bulge outwards under pressure which will mean that you wont get full travel at the slave cylinder.
