Clutch slow to return
« on: June 11, 2012, 11:45:19 am »
Hi all,
Driving the car the other day and changed gear but the clutch was slow to return, it was fine again but has since done it again,
Anyone had similar problems or idea what it could be?  Slave cylinder?
Thanks Craig

mine did thos the other month buddy. I left it and left it and cost me more. Sounds like clutch wear. Get it checked. I left mine and ended up having to change the clutch and the fly wheel.

I'd probably look into checking for an air bubble/leak in your brake fluid lines/system before you go down the route of changing clutch/flywheel...

check fluid levels, and if you havent had your annual brake fluid change done - get one arranged by your mechanic/dealer!

Get your clutch fluid bled from the nipple on the gearbox.

Got mine done last month, thought I had to replace the clutch and flywheel, the fluid was grey, clutch is sweet and smooth now.

Saved me a little fortune and hassel.

Whilst changing it get it bled at the hubs also, fresh fluid all round in the pipes.

As others have said, could be air bubble, or also sticky release bearing?

Mine's doing this. I've heard a lot about slave cylinders but I think I'll try the fluid route first. Gears are a bit notchy and sometimes it even jolts when put into first!
