Clutch Master Cylinder Replaced... Now Having Same Problems.

[Cr0wbar]

Thanks for your suggestions sammutn90. I will take a look at that and see if it helps. I've noticed over a few weeks that it's mostly alright if I drive the car everyday. But as soon as it sits there for longer than a day without being driven, it acts up. Then gets better again after driving for a bit. So I'm thinking I may just need to bleed the fluids again. But I will still try your suggestion and see how it goes. Thanks.

Yea no worries man just try that am i did bleed it but it didnt really make a differents on the pedal freeplay its more to do with adjusting the pedal was yours hard selecting in gear?

Have you checked the slave cylinder to make sure that it is not leaking from the piston that pushes against the clutch release fork?

@ sammutn90. I did notice it's a little harder to change gear while the problem is occuring. However it becomes easier with a bit of driving.

@ aaronng. I haven't checked the slave, no. I don't feel I've lost any fluid since the master was changed, so I presumed a leak wasn't likely.

Yeah thats what happened to mine aswell but since i have adjusted the pedal freeplay its was better now to change gear now but i need to do engine mounts for a smoother gear change and are u running oem mtf fluid thats helps aswell

My mate who did the change for me is a Volkswagon mechanic, and he took the fluid from there. So I presume it's OEM Volkswagon fluid hahaha.

U serious man change that to honda mtf

Oh I wasn't talking about transmission fluid. I was talking about the fluid in the master clutch cylinder. It's still an OEM grade brake fluid, is it that much of a problem?

As long as it is DOT3, DOT4 or DOT5.1, it's fine.
