Hey guys
Had an issue with the clutch this morning that it had a huge amount of freeplay (no resistance wat so ever)

And that the friction point was really close to the ground (eg pedal fully pressed in lifting it ever so slightly would be the friction point. Where as before it would be quite a fair way higher.

I began to snoop around and found that it was leaking clutch fluid from the dash. Which I take I dont need to replace clutch which is a big +

Quick search of ozhonda says i need a new clutch master cylinder

I was wondering how much a new clutch master cylinder would cost?

And

Could there be any other issues that could causes this?

Thanks for your help =)

mate if i was you, i would quickly refill the clutch fluid right now.
cause if it all runs out then u need to bleed it, which could get a bit more expensive

just top up the fluid slowly so at least it can last a bit longer

bleeding is a pretty simple process.

Good idea but yea i thought of it before when i just went to fill up. i bought some brake fluid (which is the same) and filled it up, 1 got 1L so should last me a while
