Clutch problems.......... :(

Well maybe it's not so bad. Cars always been a bit arkward to get change gear either into or out of, when cold. This week i've been stuck in gear a couple of times. Only when starting from rest. Usualy park the car in gear & leave the hanbrake off. Have problems on & off all the time. Starting from rest it goes in ok. But doesn't want to come out of first unless I kill the engine. Couple of times it has come out of first & the engine has picked up on it's own. Since it's already had a slave 3 years ago. And is no worse when hot. My guess is the master cylinder is tired. Anyone had this problem or want to disagree? £50 from Bert & not too arkward to get to. At least on the engine side.

Car has been idle a lot recently. First i was working in Birmingham. Next I had the dreaded Virus for a week. Then it snowed. So it hasn't done a lot for a while. Used it this week as the weather was better. It started :shock: But the clutch was acting up :lol: Now after ordering the new master cylinder it's decided to work again. Just got back from a good run to Kendal! Tyres completely goosed though. I was drifting first thing this morning. Still legal but no grip. :) Fun though. Great car. :D

Hating to be the bearer of bad news but it could be oil on the plate. My Reliant SS1 did this & only once warm would it release the clutch. If it was master cylinder I'd expect it to feel slightly strange.

I would have thought the pedal would be near the floor if it was the master.

Mmmmmmmmm :lol: Will know before long. 20000 miles & 3 years. Thats not good. Crank seal was replaced when the engine was rebuilt. Only the steering rack & clutch left to replace now anyway! It will be a new Porsche again any day now.
