Clutch HELP, before i torch the veicle

(1/3) > >>

paddymoo:
right then, next problem i cant figure out...

recently rebuilt s3, didnt really touch the engine and gearbox though, just put everything onto a new chassis, and replace anything that was broken...

now i have the old girl all done up, and running, but the clutch wont work... so far i have

bled it 4 times...
replaced the pipes
replaced the slave cylinder
tried to adjust it at the master cylinder end, but woth no joy
bled it again
rammed it into gear with the engine running and driven off down the road to see if that will shake it, but still the clutch wont engage,

an ideas out there?

It probably seized on, I used to get this on my Series 1 every time I'd left it for a few months.

What usually worked for me was to start in gear, then tear across the yard and stand on the clutch and brakes.

After a few goes this usually frees it! :lol:

Agreed have to be a bit hard with it, but normally it will free off

Sorry, I probably didn't make myself clear!  This needs to be a horrible violent manoeuvre, but it usually does the trick!
