The most patient of you may recall my attempts to address my solid as granite clutch pedal in my 1994 GS. My car had been stored for the summer and when I fired her up the clutch pedal would not depress. Initially I thought it was likely the clutch slave cylinder, but then saw a leak in the clutch h...

I need a clutch pipe, the solid line form the Slave Cylinder back to the clutch line.

Per this thread: http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=54678 I have replaced the flexible clutch line with a stainless Steel corksport line. but also have to replace the slave cylinder. I cannot disconnect the clutch pipe from the slave cylinder as the screw connecting the two is seized tight w...

This thing just isn't moving. The screw connecting the clutch pipe to the slave cylinder is seized tight with 12 years of rust. The fittings holding the slave cylinder on seem fine and I already replaced the clutch hose. So, do I just buy a new clutch pipe (the entire solid pipe going from the flexi...

Clutch pedal appears fine. Spring is intact, and range of travel is normal. Nothing appears obviously wrong. When the bleeder screw is openthe pedal moves fine. when closed not at all. The issue appears to be hydraulic. I picked up a set of 5 flare nut wrenches on sale at Princess Auto in Brampton f...

Okay, so i have the new clutch slave cylinder and I start to go throught the replacement. Initially my problem is just that the screw holding the line into the slave cylinder just below the bleed screw is seized. This is the clutch pipe SST as deoicted on page h-013 of the online shop manual. It app...

I am also tending to think it is the slave cylinder. It was my first guess originally, even before someone gave me assistance to determine that the clutch line was bad. I replaced it and the old part definitely had a leak, but it may have led me away from looking further at the slave. The clutch was...

Someone suggested to me that the clutch is stuck to the flywheel. I guess this might explain nothing moving. The car sat for 3 - 4 months before I started it up. It just seems odd. It had been left in neutral with the handbrake off and the wheel chucks on the rear. I have stored cars over the winte...

Hec I value your opinion from reading many of your posts but I don't recall your post on this subject. I may have been distracted because my initial suspicion was that the slave cylinder was blown. After folks like jschwauren suggested it was likely the clutch line I decided to tackle that. Seemed l...

Per the history on this Thread: http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=54160 I have installed the Stainless steel clutch line, a speedbleeder bleed screw, bled the line but if i leave the clutch pedal in the fully upright position it is impossible to depress again. Is there something mechanical ...

I feel bad for gratuitous bumping, especially considering how gracious folks have been in providing excellent advice but...

BUMP

Ok, so I have installed the CorkSport Stainless Steel clutch line and attempted to bleed myself. Now I added the speedbleeder SB8100 bleed screw and attached a new, properly fitted bleed hose. The other end is in a closed bag also provided by speedbleeder. After fully tightening the bleed screw I lo...

Lots of good info in this thread about oils & synthetics.. http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=50040&start=15 There is also lots of wrong info in that thread Mobil1 is a Group IV PAO synthetic, probably (has varied over time) with a small component of Group V Esters. It may be fair t...

Now given that we recently...
