Turns out it was the master cylinder - somehow the piston jammed (broken spring??). As soon as I started loosening the line to the slave cylinder fluid sprayed everywhere and the clutch engaged with a clang! I rebuilt my spare master cylinder and refitted it, but I will have to wait for clear weather to bleed it. ;-( Any bleeding tips greatly appreciated! I may try the bicycle pump method as I have a spare cap. Thanks to all who replied! Kevin Rhodes 77ish Spitfire |
