Postby maxwolfie » Sat Jun 17, 2006 2:37 pm

OK, just finished changing my box and turret oil.. all good... go for a drive up the street...... I notice the friction point is a lot lower than what it normally would be.. OK.. Get half way up the street, peddle goes totally floppy, then I go to corner, pump the clutch a few times.. got pressure again, then it goes back to nothing etc...


No leaks from what I can see!

Maybe I just need to bleed it? How do I do that :shock:

Thanks guys

The bleeder is located on the side of the slave cyclinder, which is itself located on the side of your gearbox. Give it a bleed first but be prepared for a knackered unit and if it is just buy a new one from Mazda/Repco/Mania etc and know it's done right.
