                Posted - 25 Sep 2011 : 20:32:55  Got a frustrating problem. After I bleed my clutch hydraulics, the clutch is perfect, but within about 10 miles the gear change starts to grate and gets rapidly worse. I check and the slave has fluid under the dust cover. I take the s/c apart, and bore and seal look fine. I am not confident that the master and slave are original, they have no marks (except Lockheed on the m/c). m/c is 16cm long (bulkhead to pipe), s/c is 7.5cm, s/c bore is 1". Do you think I could be pressing to much pressure into the s/c, because the m/c and s/c are not a matching pair ? Engine number is B3053469. Any ideas greatly appreciated. |

                Posted - 02 Oct 2011 : 22:12:33  Hi Jan, I took the slave seal out and checked it against a new one (even though it was only about 6 months old), and it was more parallel (i.e. not so conical). So I replaced it, used "rubber grease" in the bore (which I had not heard of before), and so far it is fine. Thanks for your help. Graham. |

                Posted - 26 Sep 2011 : 10:25:41  Hi Graham, check that the seals and parts in the slave cyl are fitted correctly, not for example the wrong way round , even if it is new. Cheers  Jan
