I would suspect a weak clutch slave cylinder or clutch master cylinder which may be preventing the clutch from disengaging fully; The slave cylinder is connected hydraulically to the clutch master cylinder. The clutch master is where you add fluid.
The fluid for the clutch comes from the brake fluid. After the brake master cylinder, there is a clutch master cylinder which takes fluid from the brakes. Fill up the Brake master cylinder.
add clutch fluid to the bottle and pump the pedal ....... it'll get you home .......... then check the master and slave cylinders (hope that no-one has messed with the gearbox) its money anyway
there is no such thing as clutch fluid. sorry you need a new clutch. There is indeed clutch fluid(same as brake fluid) in a classic Mini. The master cylinder is in the engine compartment directly above where the clutch pedal is located. I prefer to use Castrol brand available from Pep Boys in the USA. If the system is empty though you need to source the leak. Either from the master cylinder into the car or from the slave cylinder down by the clutch. www.HeritageGarage.com
check the slave cylinder,if its dry add fluid and then press the clutchin and out about 15 times
The clutch operates off the brake fluid reservoir...Fill the brake fluid
Right at the clutch master cylinder reservoir under the hood.
You don't. You add it to the master cylinder and bleed the brakes.
clutch master cylinder right next to brake fluid, the smaller one
This depends on what type of vehicle that you have. But in most vehicles you would add the brake fluid to the master cylinder. This can be located on the firewall of your vehicle. Do not confuse a clutch master cylinder with the brake.Make sure you add the fluid to the brake cylinder.
The clutch master cylinder gets it's fluid from the master brake cylinder reservoir. The clutch is below the brake and gets it's fluid by gravity. If you need fluid just add to the brake reservoir.
The clutch does not use oil, it uses DOT3 brake fluid. The clutch cylinder gets its brake fluid from the brake cylinder and is directly below it. Add fluid to the master brake cyliinder reservoir.
