Technical Brava 1.4 clutch/slave/master...?

[epifant]

Recently got clutch issues with the Brava. Symptoms:

- pedal travel before it engages has gotten a bit longer.
- gearshifts were a bit "hard/clonky" at first, now almost won't shift at all. Scraping in reverse.
- the handbrake light has come on more often recently, but it's also refused to go all the way down when disengaging. Needs a little help the last few cm's.​

Brake fluid level is at max, no change. Can't really see any leaks around the gearbox or the slave cylinder.
Any ideas on what it might be?

Bleed the clutch system, make sure nice new fluid comes all the way through to the slave cylinder without air bubbles etc.

If you're then sure that the hydraulic circuit is OK then it could be that the clutch is going.

The handbrake light is irrelevant, unless you are confusing it with another brake indicator showing low fluid(Tipos are like this).

But it's probably hydraulics.

Your'e right, I got them confused I'll try bleeding the system. Fingers crossed...
