Mikeyazure Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 so I'm driving along and go to change up, there seems to be a bit of slack/play/gap in the clutch pedal before it operates... when the car is stood still i can push the clutch pedal about an inch or two before it seems to operate....... im thinking this may be the slave cylinder/fluid needs changing/hose near the cat problem? any ideas peeps.... cheers mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I’m not sure, though when mine went it was a case of the clutch pedal being stuck down and not coming back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 When my slave started to fail I got what you describe, and it was worse when the fluid got hot. As the problem progressed the pedal would also stop returning. The early models thankfully have and external slave, so a new slave, braided hose and flush later in all good again.

Willsy1980 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Mine has started doing the same, what is the usual timescale on it starting to happen to total failure ? seems to be fine for a while then starts doing it when hot, then once cooled its fine again for a while.

Jay84 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 It's hard to say, mines not a daily. But the parts are really cheap from tarmac sportz and Adrian at torqen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 First action, change the clutch fluid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Davey is right, but if you do end up going down the slave route it'll need doing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeyazure Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 thanks for replies , seems its due for fluid change then, might as well do the slave as well and the braided hose because of the heat problem , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Both tarmac sportz and torqen keep them in and both offer great service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr v6 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I bought a Stoptech one from a trader on here last year, which I'm still yet to fit. I went down the flushing the fluid through to remove any air as I was convinced there was some still in the system from when it was replaced. I then wrapped the braided hose line in exhaust wrap & the pedal feel is much better even when hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy1980 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Yeah i'll do the stoptech slave, fluid and braided line, just I have a long drive up to Newcastle on Thursday and have no way of getting it done before. Once back i'll get it done, just hoping it doesn't pack in on route.... Fingers crossed it is cold and wet, seems fine when its not hot ambient temps too.
