Abby 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Well, my car is now nicely warrented....yesterday, and just in the nick of time, is no longer working. Something's gone wrong with the Clutch Cylinder and there is no pressure engaging the clutch so my car will start but wont go into gear.... Anyone know of anyone with a second hand Clutch Cylinder that I can buy.... Im very gutted my car isnt going to be running over xmas...looks like im walking :thumbsdown: also, A Viscous Fan (Clutch) In goodish condition would be great.... heheh...If only my mag hadnt broken and punctured my tyre and cost $300 to repair I would have some money to buy these things new for xmas....its just not my week Any advice or parts u guys no off would be great tho. Hope you all have a good xmas Abby. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl 3 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Abby, go to BNT (Brake and Transmission) and just buy a new Clutch Slave, it's only $30...if you want to do a little bit more for less then get the Slave Repair Kit for something like $15 or less. That'll fix you up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Andrew Report post Posted December 23, 2004 I'd have my money on the master abby. Seal rebuild kits are pretty cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abby 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2005 YAY I finally got my car running again last night, did the master cylinder and gus n dave helped to bleed the clutch...and off I went happiest i've been in a while cos my car was running! WOOHOO ....wake up this morning to go to work...and the clutch is totally screwed again! So now its back to the drawing board...presuming its the slave cylinder this time ...at least it gave me a good hour of driving before it decided to break down this time :banghead: :banghead: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petone 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2005 did you put in a new pressure plate when you did the conversion? It seems like a lot of clucth parts are crapping out when people are putting them back in the cars after they been sitting around for a while. Any reason for this?

Any reason for this? the seals die - I went through 2 master cylinders and 1 slave after I bought my car of graeme - it had been sitting for a month or so with the motor out. My current master has shat itself a bit now also. Abby - test the master before you go and replace the slave. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
