I'm hoping this is an easy one!

I'm not really mechanical, so forgive the noob-ness of this!

My clutch pedal seems to only be working on the lower half of the travel. The upper half is still sprung, but you only feel any real resistance (and the clutch actually working) from about the half way point.

Any ideas?
 
Had the same on mine, replaced the master cylinder (easy job) and it fixed the problem. It can only be one of 3 things, master cyl, slave cyl or leak/ air in system.
 
Slight necromancy, but its not that old a thread.

do these symptoms come on gradually, or all at once? I have the exact same thing, only started this morning, all was fine, then 1/2 travel.
I am going for lack of fluid right now (not checked yet) as it was quite low when I bought it, and topped it up then, so might be a reason it was low.
 
The half travel thing happened with mine, topped up the fluid and all was well for a couple of weeks, then noticed oil in the drivers footwell. Following a search on here:D:D a knackered master cylinder was diagnosed, was advised to do slave as well for the sake of not much brass. Managed it myself comfortably in an afternoon, and I haven't got a bloody clue:confused::eek:, Buster did a guide on them both if I remember rightly;);):clap2::clap2:
 
if it can last me a week, I don't care, Ill pack the dot4 for going on hols with, hopefully it will be fine, otherwise it'll be the RAC home...
 
I did my slave at the same time, seen as you are gonna drain the systems, it's worth doing both just in case and using OEM parts.
 
Cheers, just been and ordered slave, bought OEM anyway, been trying to but OEM or better parts so far, on the bits i have bought to press, the price difference has not been that great.
only if funds really stretch, and its an emergency will I be buying cheap and cheerful, just not worth it in the long run.
