I can't help you with that I'm afraid. My GV is an auto.

new snag. we have found out that the master and clutch slave should never be sold as seperates and should be bought already pressurised, well we managed to take the full lot off and bench bleed the full lot, we fitted it back into the car and instantly got a lot of pressure on the pedal, well it still wont shift into gear when the engine is on, do you know of anything else that we could possibly try before i admit defeat and have it towed? also when i depress pedal the piston moves which it didnt before when we were tying to bleed, tia xx

If you can see the slave cylinder operating the clutch arm, (the lever that goes into the clutch housing) then I'm afraid it sounds like you need a new clutch

i really didnt want you to say that :'( tbh a clutch new would cost more than cars worth and i think if i ended up scrapping it i will try and sell what i have just purchased over recent months, the new clutch master was a very nice 146 quid

Are you sure that the piston is engaging? I know you say it's moving, but is it moving against anything?

ok, when you press the clutch pedal it should cause the piston in the end of the slave cylinder to move out. When that piston moves out it should press against the release lever, the release lever is "hinged" at the other side of the gearbox, so as the release lever is moved towards the engine it presses the release bearing against the clutch assembly - this is what disengages the clutch allowing you to change gear.

If we are sure the piston is now moving, the next thing to check is that if it is moving the release lever and that the release lever hasn't fallen off of it's "hinge" the pivot ball.

these pictures show it better than I can describe.

Don't give up yet!

Regards
Richard
