Hi all. I was going to go for a spin today and after warming the engine up realised I couldn't select and gears.

The clutch still has pressure and I noticed yesterday that the gears were quite hard to engage. On Monday I fitted a short induction kit and chip so was resetting the adaptives so driving quite hard under various loads.

I am wondering if this is likely to be the clutch fingers or perhaps the slave seals. I've not had time to check the level yet.

I don't know the age of the clutch. It is quite heavy but not very hard to operate. The gears are a bit hard to select so maybe it's just needing a top up.

What is the general recommendation on clutch fluid? It will be going to a garage for repair but I have the AA parts and labour policy which may cover some of the costs I hope.

Great timing as Ive not managed to put many miles on the car since I bought it in October last year. It's now running perfectly and need clutch attention frown

Another option may be the clutch release bearing, and that'll be cheaper (though it's still box out to find out).

Having had a new clutch and DMF, I also couldn't select gears the next day. Was about to give up, then they all came back. Weird.
