Help - Clutch problems
Hi all,
My ’90 3.6 manual has developed a clutch issue.
Drove the car last weekend and clutch felt a little odd as free play on the pedal seemed to have increased. Today clutch drag set in after a few hundred yards of driving and I virtually had to push my foot through the floor to disengage.
I have about 1 inch of free play at the pedal which reduces to half of this after vigorous pumping. Fluid is topped up but looks dirty.
At 137k miles and, I believe, still on the original clutch I am fearing the worst but is there any chance this could be a hydraulic issue - maybe slave or master cylinder?
Thanks for reading.
Cheers,
LeeP
