You said it yourself it's strange how it's intermittent.

Said if there was a leak it would self bleed anyway.

rollex Member 683 Member For: 11y 25d Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 24/12/16 12:21 AM Author Share Posted 24/12/16 12:21 AM (edited) Ok got the car back and it is much much better but not perfect. 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?

rollex Member 683 Member For: 11y 25d Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 12/02/17 10:10 AM Author Share Posted 12/02/17 10:10 AM (edited) Ok so the problem is unresolved and getting worse. 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.

rollex Member 683 Member For: 11y 25d Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 12/02/17 10:54 AM Author Share Posted 12/02/17 10:54 AM Gave it a good "tap" and it felt pretty good around the block, got a clean second everytime which was promising. Time will tell as its so inconsistent its hard to tell.
