Uh oh...
Went for my first spring visit to the MGB to do do a bunch of tune-up things.
First thing I noticed was the clutch pedal felt awful strange...and after starting, it was clear that there was no clutch at all. I opened the master cylinder and there seems to be no fluid at all in it...although the cylinder itself looks pretty much brand new. There was another car on the lift, so I couldn't get a good look underneath, but there was no spot on the ground under the car. It's been kept in heated storage all winter, and the clutch was fine when I parked it in November.
I just bought the car last September and have a bunch of receipts. None mention the master (which looks new), but there was a replacement of the slave hose almost 2 years ago. My first guess is the slave is shot...but why don't I see a puddle?
If it is likely the slave, should I attempt to rebuild it, or is it generally better to replace it?
