Drove absolutely problem free for several months, only to wake up one morning to find the clutch pedal had very little tension when pressed to the ground. The car shifted into first with some difficulty, but got there after more clutch pumping. It acted fine sporattically throughout the next few days, while again some times it would feel like there's no tension on the pedal and it'd be difficult to shift.
Of course, as most unfortunately do, we ignore anything that doesn't mean immenent danger (if it ain't broke, don't fix it), now today it straight won't shift into first. It did twice when taking it around the block, but not without a gut-wrenching smash noise (clutch not being fully disengaged, my guess?) Ouch. I've been watching the fluid throughout this, and have not noticed any leaks.
Any guesses? I understand that with cars it's very difficult to troubleshoot it down to a single part, but I know there are far more people on here who are much more educated in this than I, therefore your guess is better than mine. If you have a guess, is there a writeup or thread discussing the job? I've used the search function several times without any success.
Thanks in advance,
Geoff
