problem with the clutch

HOOPZ · 12-10-2010, 08:11 PM

I had a problem once with mine going to the floor and staying. After i pulled it back up, i drove it home and checked the fluid. The level was fine, but it was shuddering taking off in first and hard to shift to second. I bled the clutch with motul rbf 600 and got a pretty good amount of air out of the line. Although the level was normal, before i bled it, there was air in it that would have likely gone undetected if i hadn't bled it. If you have the means, try that yourself. Otherwise, get someone to bleed it with a high temp brake fluid. Hopefully its not a problem with the clutch slave cylinder, which has been an issue with some other forum members. I did that about 10,000 miles ago and haven't had an issue since. Good luck.
