Clutch Kaboom!!!

[shadowarrior]

Well.... think my clutch has kicked the bucket. Pedal feels super soft squishy, and it won't engage into any gears. Good thing it got farked as soon as I pulled into the driveway at work, and it was in neutral.

Not sure if it's the whole clutch or just the cylinders. Anyway to make sure of that?'


Edit: Oh and if it's the clutch.... anyone has the part number for it?

Edit 2: Wow so many clutch types in Exedy's website. WTH is a Heavy duty cushion button and heavy duty button? Any difference from a normal clutch kit to a button kit?

LOL it'll be part of the hydraulics mate. Check your slave cylinder for leaks.

[shadowarrior]

So you are saying my clutch might be okaye?

Hmmm.. going to be tough getting underneath the car wearing suits

Oh and can it just go suddenly? 1 minute its fine..second mind it won't shift gears and pedal is squishy!

U don't have to get under to check the cylinders... Bleed it

Provided the seal hasn't blown.

Ok looking towards the car with the bonnet open, under the AC pipe (think it's the AC pipe, aka, towards my left, opposite of the air filter box's side) there's a thick rubber pipe which connects to a thinner metal pipe. There's some leak there. Is that the culprit?

Half past the monkeys ass.... what...

There's only 2 culprits.

1, firewall, next to the brake master cylinder, check to see the reservoir still has fluid (fluid leaking from it)
2, gearbox, near the radiator hose, check for leaks there.

I think this is the point where you extract the coal from your rusty bullet hole, and go see a mechanic

[shadowarrior]

Thanks Astron

Well, couldn't see any leak. There was fluid in the reservoir but was at the Minimum mark.

Pics in case I was looking at the wrong reservoir

Oh and there were no drops of any liquid on my driveway back home.

NOOOooooo!!!

Was thinking I would be able to fix it, unless it needs a clutch....coz no way in hell I can machine a flywheel!

[Bennoz]

This is your slave



You obviously have blown a seal (lol!) to have lost that much fluid.

[shadowarrior]

Thanks Bennoz

If I chuck some fluid in... I guess I need to bleed it as well to be able to drive? Any guide on how to bleed if it is possible to fill it up and just drive to a mechanic? Or is calling in a tow truck my only option here?

[Bennoz]

You will need to bleed it to drive it. A 2 man job unless you've got a proper bleed kit.

Even then, if the seal has completely gone, you still wont be able to bleed it & drive it.

Is it a silly question to ask if you pay the $90 bucks a year for RACQ roadside?

Well then, going to give them a call. Guess they will tow it to my mechanic.

Good man! They might try fix it first. If it is the slave, they're a relatively cheap fix, about $60 or $70 bucks from a Supercheap / Auto One / Repco type shop.

[shadowarrior]

Called them up, said we won't even try to repair it, will only get it towed. Oh well

[Astron_Boy]

And this will solve the mystery overheating... oh wait.

[shadowarrior]

Can someone please post part numbers for the master and slave cylinder please. Not in front of a comp :/
