1.8 clutch problem

hi having problems with my clutch i was having difficulty changing gear worse after id been driving for a while so Ive changed the clutch slave/master cylinder all was well for the last 3 days but thismoning went to go out started her up clutch down in to revers went to lift my foot off but the peddle stayed down back in to neutral lifted the clutch up with my foot try ed it a few times then it was all OK drove off all was well until i got to a hill, then the engine just revved IE clutch slip :doh: dose this mean a new clutch or would it be anything that i did when i changed the cylinder? any help would be appreciated

Hi, it is almost certain that the clutch arm is siezed in the gearbox bellhousing. If you are lucky you could free it off by using a short length of tube over the arm and move it backwards and forwards using a good penetrating oil ( not WD40) and then a spray grease. Sadly if that fails it's gearbox out and new clutch and let them free the arm off. Good Luck
