buggered clutch?

Post by fizzy1 »

If any one can help me with this would much appreciated

So I was driving home and tried to change from 3rd to 4th then when I put my foot on the clutch and nothing happened it was like a meaningless pedal and once I managed to car park I noticed that there was clutch fluid ( what seemed like clutch fluid anyway ) was leaking, managed to tow it home but its too dark to see whats fully wrong but if any one knows what could be the problem any advice would be greatfull.

thanks heaps

1st is it cable or hydraulically operated. if its cable, more than likely its broken. if its hydraulic, it could be a number of things. either the master or slave cylinder has malfunctioned, or the lines between the slave and master has a hole

or your clutch slave or clutch master cylinder has fucked out.
The slave cylinder isn't very expensive to replace either.
