My friend drove my CAV GT40 70 miles east to my summer home for the winter today with me in the passenger seat. I'm not allowed to drive because of of a cycling accident (a car hit me) until another month but that's another story. Anyway, I kept asking what's the matter as he was having a difficult time shifting to first when we came to a stop. He said the clutch was too deep. I could not understand because the last time I drove the car 2 months ago, it was perfect and shifted fine. When we got to the house, I decided to drive it going inside my garage and onto the lift I have and noticed that the car DID have some sort of clutch creep and was difficult to shift into first. When I raised the lift to drain the oil, I noticed a small puddle and when I checked the clutch reservoir, there was hardly any fluid left. I could not see any leaks up to the point where the hose enters the top of the transaxle. I filled the fluid reservoir again and pumped the clutch and the level went down about .25 in. and saw a puddle of oil under the transaxle again. I never had any leaks on this car ever, now with about 6000 miles on it. My friend told me it could be the point where the hydraulic system moves the release bearing inside the transaxle. Now, I am not familiar with this tranny at all and would like to know if this is common or if it's necessary to remove the transaxle from the engine to analyze this...
Please help me any of you who have had this happen or any Getrag tranny experts out there?:sad:
