Sorry I dont have msn.
Yes the slave cyl is on the side of the box on the drivers side.

I had a look at your photo album and it looks like your master cyl is there next to your brake master but I cant be certain.

Was your clutch pedal always like this?

where would this slave clutch cylinder be located? outside the g/box isnt it?

add me on msn: if you got it

ill get my mates ramps and check it real soon
cheers nick

I really think you should jack up the car and have a look and see weather it got a clutch Slave Cylender and hopefully no cable.

No hydrolic clutch I have ever seen has had a cable aswell but I might be wrong.

its hydrolic( i looked at my sis's wit my dad and it was hydro but had a cable on the box to the hydro that is wat i was refering to but maybe its different on this car)
since i got the car its so much smoother and def slipping or not gripping newhere near as hard maybe pressure plate.. neway ill ring up the previous owner ( but he no's nothing about cars) but i think i have the number of the dude that built it ay mite be worth a shot...

Cable ??????
There should be no cable
It should be hydrollic (cant spell)
If the box has been modified to use a cable then I assume this is the problem.
Ring the person you bought the car from they might be able to help you out.

When you say its heaps smooth when yours selecting a gear is that compared to when it was playing up on the rainy day or compared to when you first got the car?

that disenganging prob aint there nemore
but now liek during changes its heaps more smooth ay and wont spin 2nd gear ay just revs n slips and also feels like if i gun it in 1st slips..
how do i go about "tightening" the clutch?
thru pedal and the cable on side of box?

Good suggestions 731200.

I wouldn't recommend a re-sleeve. You can buy brake master cylinders for cheaper than it costs for a re-sleeve. Your idea on the "slide bearing" (throwout bearing) is a good thought.

Mine had similar problems.

Check the level of fluid in the master cyl and look for any signs of leakage. Because of the way the clutch pedal is set up if you push the clutch in not streight it will cause the piston in the master cyl to wear the inside of the master causing leakage. Just pull it off and get it re sleaved if thats the problem.

Also when my slide bearing went (was in rainy weather in the shire also lol) the symptoms were similar as it wouldnt disengage and engage properly is there any rattleing feeling in the pedal?

Just PM me if ya want me to have a look for you im in the shire too.
