Subject:      Clutch Dies in Cold Weather
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Hi All,

Thought I had this fixed...20 Degrees F this morning tells me otherwise!

My clutch goes to the floor in cold weather (usually below 40 F). I thought it was air or moisture in the lines, so I had it pressure bled and replaced with new hydro fluid.

Seems to push down "Dead," then stay there...then it might pop back up and feel like it has pressure...but pushing it down again does nothing.

The PO had put a new slave cyl, and pressure plate in about 6K ago - maybe a bad part??

Any ideas from you seasoned vets would be great - Thanks,

Ben 88 Wofsburg Weekender ej22 (KEP adaptor)
