clutch problem 120-130 1967

posted by  someone claiming to be TomTom on  Thu Aug 26 08:43 CST 2004 [RELATED]



My amazon saloon 1967 1/2 was finding it difficult to shift between 1st and 2nd yesterday and as I struggled home in 2nd the clutch stopped working completely. Now the reason I DIDN'T think it was a fluid problem was because I filled up the reservoir only about 1500 miles ago, but of course it turned out to be empty. Seemed a bit quick to empty itself.

So, to the question. I leak-chased right from the reservoir down and found nothing until I got to the hydrolics underneath the car. At the point where there is a rubber casing (that you can push back to reveal a threaded bolt) there was a lot of fluid. Which part of the clutch would be failing here? Is it the slave cylinder?

I'll see how long it takes to go half empty again to see how bad the leak is. From my brief description here would you recommend taking action now or could I soldier on?

Thanks as always,

Tom
