[dd (16V SW)]

After shunting my 33 sometime last year
I have stopped sulking and look to repair
Engine still starts, but I have no clutch
- clutch pedal depresses all the way but
I cannot disengage the gearbox
and yes the brake master cylinder level has decreased
I guess it is the hydraulics on the clutch
- Where do I start?

Slave clutch cyl, left top side of engine, see if it moves thrust bearing fork at all, fork must move only forward/back if it moves left right while operating it is not good.

Master clutch cyl, it is one you press with your clutch foot pedal., see if there are any leeks around pedals or carpet wall.

It can also be that clutch plate is stuck.

Nearly always the slave cylinder that is attached to the alloy casting near the bottom of the oil filler tube, they leak and the reservoir fluid drops, sometimes alarmingly fast. They are sometimes a complete nightmare to remove, cast iron into aluminium combined with heat and water makes for a painful time.

The clutch fork, as mentioned sometimes comes adrift as it is only located by a peg in the bellhousing, obviously this requires the box out.
