Clutch Master Cylinder

Recommended Posts

After getting shattered bearing in gearbox replaced I found clutch wouldn’t work. So tried to bleed fluid as line hadn’t been attached to slave cylinder. When pumping clutch leaver I found there was very little fluid coming out. So ok master cylinder has failed so got a kit for it from Aussie. Gave it to a mechanic to do. He fitted kit but still couldn’t pump fluid through. There was no damage to the old kit parts. Clutch was working fine before gearbox problem. I had clutch line disconnected from slave cylinder because I couldn’t remove it from back of gearbox. Any thoughts on what is going on?

One wee air bubble trapped in the small, plastic 90º elbow between the reservoir and the master cylinder can be maddening. I recall a week of fighting with this on my front brake. Finally resolved it by anchoring the lever in the "pulled" position overnight to let the air wander up into the reservoir. There may have been some tapping, bumping, and cursing involved  . . .
