    Clutch problem unable to change gear

    First thing I would do is bleed the clutch slave cylinder and see if there is any improvement. Did that to mine the other day after difficulty changing gears and back to normal now. I bled it until all the fluid had been replaced.

    Push the A pillar trim back down so the black lines up with the scuttle panel and replace the missing piece at the top. Seriously though this must be a common problem as there are loads for sale on e-bay.
