[doc] Re: Horror Of Getting Stuck In Gear At A Junction (Cutch Cylinder ??)

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi

is the system all original, lsave, master and pipe?.

my original master had stuck down, (but if this happened would 
disengage the clutch)

has is had any trouble getting gears? ie has the original line been 
ballooning?.

i would probably replace or rebuild the master to start as a rebuild 
kit is only a few quid (and easy to get to).

my slave had also gone, i fitted a rebuild kit but new ones are 
cheap.
just a pig to to.

i did mine from under the car hugging the gearbox, difficult but not 
impossible.

easiest would be to remove the intake manifold, but a lot of work to 
do that.
worth doing though if you need to do the valley, waterpump etc.

Regards

Steve
