Clutch Help

[hughandjenny]

Went for a days ride-drive advanced driving session in my 450 today. three hours in stopped for cuppa. Went back to car and clutch pedal would not depress properly and could not engage gear. After a couple of attempts the pedal went down and away we went. Few gear changes later and same thing happened. This time it stopped like this. Had to start the car in first and drive all the way back from scarborough to York with no clutch. Scary.
Got home, clutch resevoir ok. think it might be something broken in the master cylinder? Clutch was working fine up to this point.
Has anyone else experienced this and do you think its the master cylinder

Could be that the pivot point has punched a hole through the arm.... Quite common, and a fiddly but easy enough fix..

Quinny,

Isn't that a release arm off an Aston?

[hughandjenny]

Thanks for that, but if it had pulled through the arm the pedal would surely go to the floor without operating the clutch. My pedal will only go two thirds of its travel.

Mine, similar circumstances.

You were right, been underneath the car today and looking through the inspection hole it looks like the rod has pulled through the fork. Can you replace this through the inspection hole and where do I buy a reinforced fork.
Thanks

Cleor Trevor do the reinforced fork.

I'm sure Quinny has a video, (I'm not joking!), it's a pita.

Clever Trevor do not have a reinforced fork anyone know where to get one.

Wierd, I'm sure I got mine from them, try ringing them, maybe it's not on their site.
