Barry: I too have a strange clutch issue: My clutch pedal goes about 5/8 of the way down then makes contact with a solid feeling. I checked the hydraulics and bled them; the problem is not there. I can see the clutch release pivot a couple of cm's but then it hits this solid wall. It seems to me that maybe my clutch diaphragm has broken or something else in the clutch assembly has failed... I suppose I must pull the engine to find out. Anybody have a similar experience? Rio |
