BC Clutch problem

Hey guys, My clutch seems to have lost all pressure ? Reservoir is still full but pedal has no resistance and will not go in to gear (obviously lol) is it possible for the clutch slave to pack it in or is it deeper into the clutch that would be the issue?


Thanks guys

Yep, might as well grab the flexible line while you are at it. Install/Bleed/Go.

First thing to do is have a buddy press the pedal and see if the form moves at all. If it doesn't, remove the slave boot and inspect for leaking there, and inside/outside of the clutch master. If no leaks and it's not moving, replace both cylinders and the clutch line while it's off.

The same thing happened to me a few months ago. It was the slave cylinder. It was fairly inexpensive fix.

They are so cheap, you really don't want to mess with a used one and rebuilding
em. And a used one will need to be rebuilt, if you don't you will be back with the
same problem in the near future.
