Clutch Slave Gone? Had the opportunity to be towed home three weeks ago after the clutch went on vacation. The car was performing great until I stopped for gas and had a hard time getting it into reverse, then within seven gear changes it was gone, pedal went right to the floor.
Took me some time to tear into it but I looked all around the car and no leaks and the clutch reservoir was still half full. I tried to bleed the system a few times to check for leaks and while I got some air out and the clutch pedal would stiffen up after pumping the pedel, it would soon go back limp. At this point it would appear the slave cylinder crapped out, would you agree?
Will call for parts on Monday, just checking to see if anyone might think it was something else.
On a different note, those reservoirs are less than desirable, I might take this opportunity to do what Steve C did and redo the system.
