clutch fluid bleed?

Post by Space_1999 » Mon Mar 13, 2023 9:56 am

Hi guys - another newbie question from me, as I've only had my car for 24 hours!

Where is the clutch master cylinder brake fluid reservoir on the 24V? Is it shared with the brakes?

Is it possible to bleed the clutch fluid as mine is spongy, or would that be a new slave cylinder?

Is the clutch itself adjustable, as there's very little travel but doesn't slip?

115k mile, 1997 model.

cheers,

David

The clutch master cylinder is next to the brake master cylinder on the bulkhead, bit of a job to change
The slave cylinder is at the front of a 24v engine, very easy access. I would try and bleed the clutch first, then if still no good then try changing the slave cylinder.
The likely problem could be old brake fuild.

So, bleed fresh fluid through the whole of the brake system. It does make a big difference ;)
