Hi all, I am after some advice to resolve a problem I've found on starting up my Stag after winter hibernation .
The car has been garaged all winter while I've rebuilt the front suspension, it started up with no problem but the clutch pedal felt a little easier to press than I remembered but when I engaged reverse with a crunch of gears the car shot backwards.
I then found I could not engage any gear with the engine running but could easily with the engine stopped. I had been aware of a very slight leak from the slave cylinder and had already purchased one so I assumed it had finally failed and fitted the new one.
After careful bleeding ( nipple uppermost) including allowing gravity to fill the system the problem still persists.
The pedal feels good but there doesn't seem to be much travel of the pushrod..
Sorry for the long rambling post but any advice would be most appreciated.
