Clutch Problem

[Barakka]

I came to drive my Bravo yesterday, started the engine (engine had been off for about 5-10 mins) and the clutch pedal shot to the floor when I pressed it (no resistance) and the bite was about an inch from the floor - I stalled

I started the engine again and pressed the clutch in and out a few times, the bite moved up again. Now the bite is further down than before, although not on the floor anymore, and pressing the clutch feels very light above the bite.

I spoke to the mechanic who said it is a hydraulic clutch rather than a cable and could have got air in it ?

The clutch was replaced about 12 months ago, what happened any ideas ?

TIA

Sounds like something has let the fluid out. Mine did a similar thing when the seals went on the slave cylinder.

Take a peek at the top of the gearbox (under the battery) and see if its covered in fluid. Careful though, that stuff eats paint and fingers if you don't wash it off.
