im having problems with my clutch.
i work in a garage/motorfactors (not as a mechanic, in the parts dept.) so im getting the parts + work done there.
the origanal problem was the pedal would go to the floor and i had no clutch.
we traced this fault to the slave cylender (master cyl is ok).
so out with the gearbox.
while the gearbox was out, i decided to replace the clutch and flywheel as they where showing signs of wear and to save future problems. so with the new flywheel, new clutch and new slave cylender, we put the gearbox back in.
next job was to bleed the system, it was a bit of a pain, but it was done in the end, the clutch pedal was back to normal, allbe it a little light.
the clutch wont clear. cant change gear with the engine running.
we have called the LUK tech help line, they say to change the master cyl as well, they didnt give a reason, just said that because we have changed all the other parts it must be that. but that was tested before anywork started, so we know thats ok.
we have called seat, they say thet there are a right pain to bleed, and thats probably the problem.
all the parts fitted are LUK, i sell them everyday, and have never had problems with them.
the tecnitian thinks that the fingers in the clutch are not right, too weak. so i have ordered another clutch, and the box will have to come out again on tusday.
has anyone had this problem before? anything else it might be?
any suggestions or comments welcomed.
