Clutch problem
Hi All,
Hopefully someone will be able to help me out. I have a 1994 1.8 Eunos Roadster and have recently had a problem with the clutch. The biting point became lower and lower until it was past the floor and the car would move in gear, even when the clutch was pressed down.
I thought it might be a problem with the adjustment rod, and followed the instructions in 'the garage' on how to adjust it. Unfortunately this didn't make any difference.
I have also replaced the clutch slave cylinder and bled the system, to no avail.
If I pump the clutch pedal repeatedly I can change gear, but if I hold the clutch pedal half way down for 10 seconds or so, I can feel the pedal go really light and I can touch the floor. At this point I can't change gear in the car.
Has anyone had this before?? It's driving me insane.

I replaced the slave cylinder on Monday and it didn't fix the problem, so hopefully it'll be the master.
I should have a new master cylinder waiting for me at home, so I'll have a go at fitting it and see how I get on.

Well the problem existed before i replaced the slave. Maybe I didn't word my original post very clearly.
I replaced the slave cylinder because of the problem, but it didn't fix it. So I guess it rules that out as the cause. The master cylinder didn't arrive today, so hopefully it'll turn up tomorrow. Fingers crossed
