CHECK YOUR CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER'S FLUID LEVEL

IF IT'S LOW, REFILL/ BLEED, LOOK FOR LEAKS

SOMETIMES A BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER/ CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER WILL LEAK "INTERNALLY". THIS MEANS THE PISTON/ O-RINGS IS NOT SEALING OFF WHEN YOU PUSH THE PEDAL. FLUID SLIPS BY THE PISTON (AS IT SHOULD NOT!) AND THE CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE MAY NOT LIFT FULLY OR AT ALL. THERE IS NO FLUID LOSS, AS THERE WAS NO "HOLE" FOR IT TO LEAVE THE BODY

KEEP US INFORMED ON PROGRESS
