golfball4157 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 hi all. new here so here goes... I was out in my 300tdi 90 earlier on today and called into the pub for a swift pint as I got back in it I pressed the clutch to put in gear and set off and the clutch pedal went straight to the floor and stayed there. I lifted the pedal back up and then the pedal was solid wouldn't do anything?? anybody know what the problem is?? slave cylinder or clutch itself?? thanks in advance Alex sorry if it is in the wrong section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Murphy Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Clutch fork gone through, I'd imagine. Reinforced replacements are available. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reiny Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 No easy way and I'm willing to place a bet that it definitely is the fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 100% percent that is is the clutch fork. You can pull the slave cylinder to verify, if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jode Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 There's a good chance you'll leave the slave push rod in the fork/housing, but as it's likely the fork that needs replacing this won't really matter. You'll need to either slide the gearbox backwards or the engine forward to be able to get at the fork for replacing; you may want to consider changing out the release bearing while you're at it.
