Bit more of an update. Initially after flushing it engages gears. Driving to the shops and back it deteriorates to the point where I need to reverse but can't shift into reverse unless I put my foot out of my door and push the car backwards to help engage it . . .

It's come out of nowhere as well. I have another master cylinder on the way to try but if that doesn't fix it I'll replace the transmission altogether, over it.

I'm at a loss with the clutch issue. I've bled the system 6+ times now, replaced the reservoir and master cylinder. Initially works and after a couple of seconds I completely lose the clutch . . .

I'll be pulling it out next week to check the slave. Any other ideas?

Its got everything to do with your high mount setup. Too much heat has killed it and will kill your master cylinder also. I keep saying low mount is better but no one listens.

For the benefit of others my 6BOOST low mount is HOT. My mates 6BOOST high mount is better on the cluch / brake area than my low mount. The low mount manifold runners are in a bad spot even though they are HPC coated and covered by a proper heat shield. I have fried a clutch line on mine as I didn't heat protect it to start with. Had no clutch issues though, however the clear coat on the line just went black!!

The stock low mount, which I'm sure is what Trana is referring to is obviously the best for heat dissipation.

Judging by the colour of the fluid each time it came out it looks as though the rubber hose from res. to firewall has been too hot and has been perishing on the inside.

It's taken 6 months of high mount setup to go from ok to buggered

Even with a new line, res. and master cylinder it's not right.

I had another crack at the clutch dramas today. Pulled apart the original master cylinder to find a bit of a surprise.

Gunk and crap all through it and what looks to be corrosion on the arm part of the plunger.

Cleaned it all up, rubber and O-rings still looked in great shape. Fitted it back up and bled. Initially the pedal felt great and changed gears very well but pedal feel then went out the door. Thinking there's still air in the system so I've cracked the res. cap for the night in hopes any air might travel to the top.

Clutch issue is sorted. Replaced the master cylinder with a new one and pulled up the carpet so I could get a full stroke on it whilst bleeding.

Happy as larry :)

So I've got this noise coming from near the pulley/belt system. Any ideas? I'm guessing power steering pump/pulley (at 188,000km) as the rest is 15,000km old powerbond pulleys

The noise
