Gearchange issue

[Maxfly]

First point to try is plenty of lube on the release arm as these seize up and not many folk keep them moving freely. Makes a big difference even with sheddist kit fitted

Well had a look at the slave cylinder today and got the missus to press the clutch down whilst i watched and it seems there was quite a bit of movement in the cylinder and it didnt actually move the arm until the silver nut shaped thing that connects the hose to the cylinder (I have NO idea what this bit is called!!) actually pressed against the bracket.

I tried to hold the cylinder in place while she pressed the clutch in place again and this caused the plastic to snap around the cylinder, so I think a Sheddist is definitely needed now, plus I will try Maxflys idea too as the arm seems a bit stiff!

Where are you based? I have a spare slave bracket (and an OE setup) if you need it to get the car on the road till the sheddist kit turns up?

I also have bits n peices of a sheddist kit... but not got the bracket from said kit...
