robertspark Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Give it a bleed how close does the clutch line run to the exhaust is the fluid boiling off in the line? Not a clue really just a guess Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Idris Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 You need a new auto You could have water in the oil, but black oil usually means it's time for both parts. Especially if they have any age. The lack of air flow off road is hard on the rubber parts of a hydraulic clutch. (Hard on everything) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Clutch fluid is how old? I do brake and clutch every two years, sounds like yours is old, absorbed water and boiling during use, as it boils, water expands, turns to steam that then absorbs any pressure you put in through the clutch pedal. If I were you it'd be a new master and slave with thorough rinsing through of clutch line of old tainted fluid. PS, nothing in a blue box he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW8IZR Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 some years ago I had a radial split in the flywheel after getting it rather hot. Symptoms where when reving the engine the crack opened and the clutch would not disengage. Under light load the clutch was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
110 V8 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I got stuck in deep water a while back and had same symptoms after I got out. Turned out bell housing was full of water. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
