Lost all travel on my clutch pedal tonight and can't select any gears. Luckily the last gear change i could make was into my drive. The clutch wasn't slipping and it happened over about 30 miles, the car is showing 35k miles.... any ideas?

Thanks for your time.

clutch is hydralic...

if the pedal just feels limp, then you probably have a leak in the pipe somewhere, this is normally at the slace cylinder end - just infront of the gearbox.

Get sombody to sit in the car, and whist you are watching the slave cylinder get them to push the clutch down, you should be able to see the problem.

the solution is a new clutch flexible hose, Eliseparts.com sell a better version than the std one in that the end fittings will not break in the same way the std ones do.

it's not a plesant job to change though.
