Power steering reservoir is NOT linked to the clutch.
The BRAKE Fluid Reservoir (in plenum below windscreen) is shared with the Clutch Master Cylinder. So, check the Brake Fluid Reservoir.
If that remains full, you can essentially rule out a leak. If it is low (but hopefully not empty), that could indicate a clutch system leak, as it should feed off the reservoir at a higher level than the braking system (brakes are critical obviously, clutch is not). Either cylinder can leak.
If the reservoir is empty, you could have a problem with the brakes, and the clutch is just a symptom.
There are also mechanical connections between the master cylinder and the pedal, and the slave cylinder and the clutch. You can check the master cylinder to pedal linkage up under the dash.
indicates that the bump rubber at the pedal under the dash is missing or that stopper needs adjustment
The only obvious problem will be your getting a tired leg as you have to lift it higher to get o the pedal
Hi Kristopher, A shudder from the manual transmission is usually caused from a defective part in the clutch assembly. It could be caused by uneven wear of the pressure plate (clutch cover) or wear on the clutch plate boss (The center of the clutch plate with the springs or rubbers which absorb the torque when releasing the pedal) A shudder can be generated from a defective engine or gear box mount, worn CV joints or spiders or a loose bell housing. Start with the last suggestion and work backwards as the clutch replacement will require the most work. If the clutch assembly has been replaced recently, and the parts available are of the same quality we receive where I am, you will need to do the job over. Regards John
The Clutch Master Cylinder is located on the firewall inside the engine
bay, and usually next to the brake master cylinder as the brake and
clutch pedals are usually very close to one another. The Clutch Master
Cylinder is responsible for transferring the clutch pedal pressure
hydraulically to the slave cylinder to release the clutch. You can tell
when your clutch master cylinder is dying or needs repair when you
depress your clutch pedal and it slowly sinks to the floor and does not
return. Since the entire system is a hydraulic one, the master cylinder
also has a reservoir that holds the fluid used in the clutch hydraulic
system. If you decide to change the clutch master cylinder it is a good
idea to also get a clutch slave cylinder at the same time, as both units
typically fail around the same time. When replacing your master or
slave cylinder, its always a good idea to flush your entire system to
prevent water buildup or air pockets from being present when you are
driving. Also always keep an eye on the fluid in your reservoir, dirty
fluid may mean that the internal seals are allowing dirt and
contaminants into your master cylinder.
First you must air bleeding out from inside hydraulic clutch acting system ! On the slave cylinder you will find an aeration screwed ventil provided for air bleeding. See picture below:
Two person are necessary for this operation. One person for acting the clutch pedal and another person for air bleeding out from inside hydraulic clutch acting system by unscrewing the aeration ventil from slave cylinder. This operation is difficult, and must spend some time for successful result!
