You said it yourself it's strange how it's intermittent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said if there was a leak it would self bleed anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the is just old syncros as they are still a tad notchy. However I get a clean reverse and first at the lights now, pedal feels much better as well. If I clutch in and immediately go for first I still get a slight bump if I wait a second it is fine. Clutch guy said due to the weight and size of the clutch assembly he isn't surprised it takes a second to spin down. I guess this is as good as it will get. Kind of wish I got an auto now! Anyone want to trade? Lol Edited 24/12/16 12:22 AM by rollex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomly I get in the car and the clutch is half way to the floor, pump it 5x and it comes good. Usually after I drive to work and get in the car 2 hours later, almost completely on the floor. No fluid is leaking and I can't see anywhere that air can be getting in. Could it be something up with the new clutch master I put in, eg the piston is sticking or something?

I get those symptoms or had those before in my xy. Tap the master cylinder lightly with a hammer and it may fix it. Sometimes the master will get stuck.

Time will tell as its so inconsistent its hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
