Clutch problem, but what?

Postby gslender » Sat Sep 03, 2011 8:50 am

Hi,

Been suffering with regular gear crunch for a while, and thought it was a worn 5 spd in my NA6, but now think I've figured out the issue.

It seems the clutch needs to be firmly slammed into the footwell and it will not crunch - so the clutch isn't disengaging correctly/fully ?? Yes??

I've replaced the clutch slave, but no change. I've got a master and noticed a weeping from the cylinder inside the footwell... So am I on the right track?

Any other thoughts?

If it is leaking, it is a good start. And has to be fixed anyway. Fix it, replace you fluids and then comfirm the issue to not.
