[doc] Re: Gear selection failure

All that seems to make sense. 

Is there a simple (ie my numpty level) test to determine which 
cylinder has failed so that I can order the right one?

Any way of doing something very temporary. I am royally stuck getting 
the car even out of the garage, uphill without reverse. Not sure I 
could 'recover' it from this position :-(

Leaking seems like a bad thing. Any tips for how to drain it if it 
starts to leak? There may be something in the manual but I can't see 
it at the moment and I am looking for 'Idiots Guide to...' 
suggestions.


Many thanks for your time thus far

Check for a wet patch around the clutch master cylinder where it goes 
through the floor of the pedal box. You've only pumped the clutch a 
few times - this is enough for it to have failed but not leaked all 
the fluid out yet. I'm betting it's eithe rthe clutch master or  
slave clylinder. It's not going to be the linkage if all gears are 
tough - the only other possibility is the clutch fork having failed, 
but this is rare, and a bit of a coincidence if the last time you 
drive it it was  fine, now after sitting for some time the gears are 
tough - typical behaviour for a failure in the hydraulics.
