Clutch dragging?

[congo181]

Ive got the usual stiff gear change on my Disco 2, and was wondering what I could do to help it.

Going to change the oil tomorrow, but was wondering how to check the clutch wear.

The clutch disengages right at the bottom of the pedal but doesnt seem to be slipping.

Any clutch checks I can perform?

FFS nick yer must know that there hydraulic!! if its biting at the bottom then its a possability that there is fluid loss??? the hydraulic version of a stretched cable for nick's sake!

Hmmm I looked for the reservoir (quickly) but couldnt find it - does it share the brake one? Maybe I could try tightening the adjuster on the hydraulic pipe??

it wouldn't hurt to flush some fluid through just to be sure. also check around the slave for traces of weeping fluid.

The slaves on the bell housing right? And the is the master the small cylinder next to the brake master? I still dont get where the reservoir is though...
