Help - refitting clutch slave cylinder & clutch fork stuck
Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2016 12:13 pm
Hi All
I need your sage advise please. I am refitting the clutch slave cylinder and the clutch release fork is stuck towards the front of the car i.e. closest to the engine.
- I have tried to give it a push by hand but no movement (I get a few mills and thats it)
- I have tried to change gears in the car and it will go in and out of all gears (including reverse) with no problems
Whats the advice, as I have no clutch (the slave cylinder is off and there is no fluid) then I can't simply press/release the clutch.
Its on axle stands at the moment, do you think I will need to put it back on the floor - push it out of the garage, put it in gear and start the car - I read similar on a forum post.
Thanks
Gareth
