roy53 Posted September 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 clutch pedal is fine. But would contamination not clean off with use or are you surgesting that it could be totally soaked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ntc Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Oil it slips, moisture is a cause and yes it sweats when cooling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atch Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I believe my clutch may be seized internally. Master and slave cylinders were replaced by previous owner. Transmission shifts through gears when engine is not running. Should I be able to actuate the clutch by hand, if the pushrod is disconnected at the transmission? Thoughts?

RogerH Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hi Atch, if you can lift the car high enough to get a 3ft scaffold pole on the clutch cross shaft operating arm you may be able to move. With the slave cy disconnected does the Master Cy operate the slave.? Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 If you are trying to diagnose then unless you have the transmission tunnel off you will need another person to watch the lever as you operate the pedal. Either that or use a phone to take a video. That should tell you whether the lever is moving properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
