My clutch has just started playing up (999 2004). The lever action is perfect until I have cause to hold the clutch in for fairly long periods ie. 1st gear in heavey traffic. Then the clutch 'biting point' gets progressively nearer the bar until finally the clutch drags and prevents me from selecting neutral!
At this stage if the lever is released and pulled back a few times the clutch behaves normally again. I haven't noticed any oil leaks but admit I haven't removed the slave cylinder.
So, do these symptoms mean the master cylinder neads bleading (and is this just a temporary cure) or that the slave cyl needs replacing or both or something else.
Thanks
