Subject:Re: No Clutch

The fluid went somewhere. Look under the floor mat! Did that last winter in
Fun Bus. No the floor paint is the peel off type. In that case the hose from
the reservoir to the clutch cylinder failed. How that hose got close enough
to the clutch pedal arm to wear thought is beyond me. Anyway, filling and
pumping won't make it work again. You will have to bleed it.

Subject: No Clutch

Came home from BBB 18 after 18 days away & the Syncro Doka started right up,
but the clutch pedal went right to the floor even after topping off the
brake fluid reservoir.
Pumped & pumped & pumped, but no increase in pedal resistance.
no sign of leaking @ clutch master or slave cylinders, & all worked well
before leaving.
Any hints?
