afternoon everybody.
I am sure this has been covered before so please accept my apologies for going over old ground.
It's been a month since anything has gone wrong with the freelander so I was kinda expecting something
To happen.
The plastic linkage from the clutch pedal to the master cylinder broke. No problem. So I fitted a new sealed system comprising master cylinder, slave cylinder and pipework.
I had no fluid leaks and the plastic clips that hold the slave cylinder piston back both stayed in position.
Started the car and was not able to get it into any gear. With the wife operating the pedal I can see that
The slave piston is pushing on and moving the lever on the gearbox. However the amount of distance the
Slave piston travels seems very small. Maybe an inch?
Does this sound like air has got into the system. The lever on the gearbox is moving so has not seized up and the gearbox/clutch was fine until the plastic linkage broke.
Any thoughts........thank you.
