Guys just after some info from the tech experts on here.
After towing my boat around 600 ks I noticed I had only the bottom end of the peddle clutch left. It got me home and now that its been sitting I have full clutch back. I suspect I'm up for a new clutch , the fender has just ticked 80 000 ks and is just out of warranty any idea on cost for the repair. Is it a big job to pull the gearbox etc back to get the plate off.
TIA
Dan

I'd bleed it first and check the hoses,if you were able to tow a boat 600k's the clutch is working fine. Pat

Mine got changed at 20k,it's got 110k now,if your clutch was knackered you'd have no drive,even more so with a boat hanging off the back,as a general rule I'd look at fluid level,air in the system or faulty slave etc for a peddle to the floor problem.Funny how it came good on it's own?. Pat

This happened to me after really bad bumper to bumper traffic for 1.5 hrs. Only the bottom part of the clutch seemed to work. Also resolved self but recently came back. Going to check the slave.
