smiggy002 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hi, Don't no of I'm in the right section but just need little bit of advice. My brake fluid was dropping about 6 months ago. After realising what it was and topping it up during this time I've now had the master cylinder changed. Now, 2 days after, the clutch started to feel strange and was slipping a lot. Had to rev really high to get a slight movement. Now it wil not move at all and I can select any gear and release the clutch fully with accelerating at all. Would just like to know if anybody knows exactly the problem before I take it back to the garage. Cheers, Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Sounds like you have a worn out friction plate to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 +1, sounds like they are two separate issues that occurred at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 If brake fluid gets onto the friction plate due to a leak, it can cause the clutch to slip Once the friction plate is contaminated with fluid it is difficult to get cleaned off, i was told it would need to be replaced on my mk3 tit-x 2.2, the flyweel can be used again because the face is metal if the DMF is ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
