Hi.. Okay, my clutch sometimes engaged, sometimes not... put me in a percarious position.
today, instead of rebuilding the clutch slave, i bought and installed a new one.. when I removed the old one, i said, aha, this is it.. it literally leaked from the cylinder portion of the clutch..
I took the mga for a drive and all worked well with the new slave.. until I got home in my driveway, and didn't dis-engage, ...then could not get into gear without grinding...
but,
with pumping the clutch, was able to engage and disengage gears...
Question is"
a. do you think I have a bit of air in the lines still, and should re bleed.
B.. could it be the master cylinder? (there is no sign of leakage around the Master cylinder
c. if it is the master cylinder, do you recommend a rebuild, or just go for it with a new master cylinder.
d. any other options or solutions that I may try?
Have had the car long enough, that all these components were replaced once before(10 + years ago), but know British parts, after a dozen years, probably need replacing.
thanks for the help..r
