Subject:      master cylinder or pressure plate???
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

hello all...starting to have a problem with my clutch,
85 1.9L...recently the clutch pedal was on occasion
getting fairly hard to push, then if i pumped it some
it would work itself back to normal. now it is
starting to feel like mush, like the bleeder is open
on the slave cylinder type feel...so since i replaced
the slave cyl. a couple months ago i am thinking the
master cylinder, but it is not leaking (although looks
old)and all the posts in the archives seem to indicate
it is not going until it leaks. the other thing i came
across in the archives is the pressure plate may be
going. the way it has been degrading i expect to have
no clutch by tomorrow...so can master cylinders go bad
without leaking? or am i in for my first engine pull
this weekend? and how hard is it to replace the
pressure plate anyway? what else should i do while im
in there as well? thanks for any help...
