Hi all, slight problem with my clutch and need your valuable advice people. I thought my master cylinder was on the way out as she would start moving while in gear but with clutch pedal depressed. So I changed both master and slave cylinders, but the problem remains. Hard to get into first gear and reverse mainly, but others also not right. Any thoughts? Getting new bulkhead fitted in 2 weeks time so would that be a good time for the work to be done? Many thanks in advance.

You don't say which car it is - but distorting clutch fork is a known 90/110 Defender problem.

Are you absolutely certain that there is no air in the system?

How did you bleed the system after replacing the master/slave cylinder?

I used eezibleed to bleed the system so pretty sure, but will try it again and its an ex mod 110. So if the fork is bent it's easier done when bulkhead being replaced I suppose? Will it cost much? Please say no!:Cry::Cry::Cry:

Not a huge deal to split engine/gearbox if it's being stripped for a bulkhead anway. Might as well have a complete new clutch/release bearing fitted as well.

Depends on how many miles the clutch has done but if you're splitting the engine and box it's worth putting in a clutch kit. You really don't want to do it later......
