Hi guys,
Looking for a big of help troubleshooting an issue before I pull the box as a last resort.
Following a recent start (my car has been sat for a while) my clutch pedal went completely soft.
I knew the slave was past its best and the fluid was a horrible colour so i replaced the master and slave cylinder.
The problem now is that car won't go into gear with the engine running.
A couple of things to note...
Pedal throw seems marginally shorter - going to look at extending the fork for the master cylinder pushrod.
The new slave cylinder has a pushrod about an inch longer than the one I removed - not sure if this is a problem or not, or what the actual length should be.
System doesn't appear to have any fluid leaks.
Car had a bit of a burning clutch smell on a previous idle (around 6 months ago) but wasn't driven anywhere.
Could anyone offer advice based on experiences please?
