Oh don't get me started on clutches!

;^)  ----- see my earlier post/rant


Check for leaks in clutch hydraulic circuit. You
either have air in system, and/or are losing fluid
resulting in lower pressure for slave cylinder to work
properly. Or your master or slave clutch cylinder is
starting to fail.

Was any work done on clutch/tranny lately? Clutch hyd.
may only need bleeding.

Headlights? I upgraded from stock to Halogen sealed
beam. In hindsight I would have saved and rewired for
H4  (I believe that's the model) system. Check
archives:

for more info on headlight upgrades and clutch stuff.

Cheers,

Neil.
