Jordk Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Here's a strange one. When driving at motorway speeds in 5th my starlet loses clutch pressure completely and the clutch goes dead. Unless you give it a couple of pumps. Works spot on in lower gears going slower. I bled it out and checked the line for leaks and all seems fine until I get back up to speed again. Any ideas? Quote
mikey4410 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 thats so random.I have been trying to work out in my head the last few mins how that could even happen lol. cant get me head round it. Quote
Jordk Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 Same it's driving me mental! The clutch holds perfect in low gears even when nailing it. But leave it in 5th for a few miles and you can feel the pedal get softer and softer Quote
jimmymac101 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 This is the strangest thing :-/ How old is the fluid? James Quote
Jordk Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 Pretty much new. Bled out a heap and refilled as well. I thought it might've been the seal in the master cylinder but I'm not loosing any fluid and when I bleed it there's no air in the system. Quote
daniel_g Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Maybe swap the rubber clutch line for a braided one, the standard rubber ones can balloon under pressure being old. Quote
