Clutch pedal solid.

My clutch had been making so odd noises recently and the pedal was getting stiff. About four years ago I stripped out the pedal box ( pedal had seized) pushed out the pivot shaft cleaned everything up unblocked the oil ways and refitted, all good. Yesterday I stopped the open our gate got back in and the pedal was solid, engine running I can go through all the gears but nothing, Q do you think the master cylinder has seized. I haven't looked at it yet so would be interested what somebody with more experience would suggest.
Thanks Ian.Fewtrell

Hello and welcome to LZ
a bit more info as to what motor and we can point you to the right section of the forum

If you can get all the gears with the engine running and pedal is solid, it would suggest to me the clutch hydraulics are stuck down/on.
Had same recently on my series as the slave seized at the end of its stroke.

Hi thanks for the info, I am hoping it is something like that, I can manage the hydraulics,

Hi, I now have removed the slave cylinder, the brake pedal is now moving freely and I used compressed air to push out the slave cylinder piston, no signs of seizing. the rod from the clutch into the slave cylinder has no resistance, not moves in and out easily, Q is this ok or do I now need to remove the gearbox.
Thanks Ian.

Sound like it is gearbox out time.
