If the clutch has gone soft then really you should bleed it. The bleed nipple is on the end of the hose you described. - a braided st/steel hose. If you are on your own It's a lot easier if you nip down to halfords and invest £20 in an eazi-bleed kit. Use Dot 4 in case you don't know.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but my newly acquired Cerb has an extremely stiff clutch, confirmed by both Kevin63 and MikeinSheffield. It works okay and getting forward and reverse is not a problem; the previous owner tells me that he thought it was a standard clutch, however not the original, so i'm now concerned that i have an issue looming - it's a 2000 4.5LW
Any advice would be gratefully accepted

Not sure about this but if the clutch was a Raceproved one, werent they a little stiffer than the AP ones.

good excuse to get yourself over to raceproved? PS Kev and Mike have very weedy thighs. PPS Only joking they have very strong thighs.

Mine is a Raceproved diaphragm and Pursyluv has tried it and nearly put his foot through my floor, it's very light and very progressive and in my opinion is far better than the AJP one I had before, it's only the diaphragm though with an AJP clutch under it. Oh it's a Raceproved slave cylinder too with special seals (not sure what type though)


That may be why I have very weedy thighs
