'90 SPG weird clutch phenomena>>>still
Posted by burlyb [Email] (more from burlyb) on Mon, 14 Jan 2002 12:02:34

So, two weeks ago I posted about this...
Cold mornings, clutch pedal is stiff (normal) at first. After a few shifts it becomes soft by about 2" max. Can still get in gears but the pedal is low for about 10-15 minutes until the car is warm. Once warm it stiffens up to normal again and is fine! Leaks no fluid.
I figured this has to be the clutch master leaking past its seals. Replaced that (new - thanks Jim) and pressure bled properly - a few times now - I even pipe taped the threads on the slave bleeder. When I first bled the fluid was greenish black and I figured this was from spent seals in the master. Fluid was only about 2 months old. Upon further re-bleeding/flushing the fluid is slightly greenish still.
Has anyone encountered a clutch failure like this. I thought these symptoms had to be the master. Does it sound like a hose deteriorating from within or a slow, intermittant slave leak? I'm working my way up in cost and time, so for me the slave is the last in my mind.
Thanks saabers.
