smiggy002 0 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stef123 2,140 Posted July 18, 2013 Sounds like you have a worn out friction plate to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeebowhite 5,106 Posted July 18, 2013 +1, sounds like they are two separate issues that occurred at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FOCA 653 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
