Clutch soft and hard to put into gear when cold

Post by den0va »

As the title... I've checked the clutch fluid level it's over max. So am I right to say that my slave cylinder shiet itself?

it may be the clutch master cylinder seal, under pressure it could be releasing fluid up the bore.

Yes he is haha... I guess I'll have a better look tomorrow and if there is no noticeable fluid leakage I'll bleed it, if the problem still persists then it's either one of the cylinders leaking.

Cleaned the reservoir of dirt and filth, bled the system and all seems A-OK now! The fluid that came out of it was so filthy it looked dark green/black in colour lol... pedal feeling WAY better like when I first got my car best couple bucks I've spent on my car yet haha
