is the resevoir full? probally not if both pedal changed at the same time. Fill the resevoir and pump the brakes and the clutch pedal look for the fluid, it has to be leaking. The clutch slave cyclinder or brake cyclinder / caliper is usually the problem as the moisture collects in the lowest part of the system and corrodes util fluid can leak around the seals. stephen wstphalianopsamcom (Wstphalia) wrote: >Maybe someone can help me.
