Track car clutch issue
 
So today, Grimmy turned up to help me swap over the master and slave cylinders that Lee kindly supplied.

Started well getting the original part off but I discovered that the stiff pedal that's been around since I got the car was due to the master end not being physically connected to the clutch pedal!! The pin was present but the pedal was merely 'pushing' the bar in!

With the new system fitted we quickly discovered that the system (that doesn't need bled) needed bled. We figured out how to do it all and put everything back together.

Long story short, the track car has a perfect feeling clutch and fresh fluid in it!

Thank you Grimmy for all the help!!

Did you get a loud click on deselection of the clutch?

My symptom was a clutch pedal to the floor, that was all really. Discovered the pedal issue when dismantling it!
