gear box/clutch problem

[scottv6]

I have a bit of a problem! Rite 1st thing the brake fluid light came on so topped it up and now it came on again so checked the level and it have dropped again,also im finding it hard to select gears? My dad seems to think that it could be the hydrolic clutch leakin as it used the same brake fluid as the brakes. What do you guys think it could be?

hi,your dad is right.it will prob be your slave cylinder in the box,if not the master cylinder on the pedal but 9 times out of 10 the slave goes

Check around the pedal area 1st and see if the master cylinder is leaking

I'm thinking its a expensive fix? Just had to buy 4 new coil packs now this. Hopefully al get round to looking at it at the weekend.

were the coil-packs not free under re-call

No they had already been changed once before.

iirc the master cylinder is around £30-£45. (or was when my clutch pedal went and smashed the master cylinder)
i found a full pedal on ebay though for £40 so bought that and just replaced the pedal including the frame/bracket ect. as it was easier

[scottv6]

So do you think its the 1 behind the pedal or the 1 in the gear box?

well had a look today and seems to be the slave cylinder  so looks like it could be expensive.

a £50 part is an expensive repair?  Eh?
