Clarification on clutch bleeding
Sorry to drag this old chesnut up again. I've read the other posts in this section and have bled the clutch to try and cure a difficulty in changing gears. Whilst bleeding clutch the pedal jammed to the floor and had to be lifted by hand. Now whilst it is easier (still not perfect!) to change gears, the pedal was sticking half way down the pedal stroke. Well the pedal now usually returns to the top of its stroke but the top part of the movement is dead, nothing seems to go on until half way down. Also to make matters worse the clutch has started to slip as the turbo comes on boost.
So in light of the suggestions from 911 threads and others I have the following questions:
1) Should the slave cylinder (when looking form the front of the car) be pushed in or held out?
2) is the slave cylinder complicated to take apart? and what you need to be careful?
Thanks for your help guys,
Mike

I think that is where I went wrong! Fairly sure I had slave cylinder pulled forward!
Spring was definately in place yesterday. but seemed fairly pathetic. Should it be quite stiff?
