This morning when i drove my TT the gears did not seem to want to go in, very clunky, as if no clutch.
Parked in town for 3 hours, when i got to drive home could not get it in gear at all.
After panicking for a few minutes noticed the clutch pedal was low to the floor, lifter it up and hey presto gear box would connect, drove all way home OK.
I have a warranty with the garage, so if there is a problem will need it sorting, is the clutch a hydraulic one? any way of checking fluids? is it linked to brake system?
Would appreciate any advice as have not got a clue on mechanics of a car, other than real basics.

sounds like slave cylinder is on the way out? anyone else agree? maybe needs to bleed clutch.. has it been changed recently?

 

Try topping of your brake fluid. Its been working for me for 6 months. But ultimately yes I believe it is the slave cylinder.

 

do you have to top the fluid regularly?

if so its leaking from somewhere and

if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck ... its most likely your slave cylinder.

 

I like blue ducks. But I only have to top it off like once a month maybe, so its a slooooooow leak.

 

hate to tell you this but the same happened to me and i needed a new clutch it sucked

 

Thank you so much for your thoughts, I will be taking car back to dealer with print off of your comments !
looks like new clutch !!
What a helpful forum, only just joined today and already been helped so much !!

 

Helpfull???

 

It is helpful for me as I know only basics.. when car wouldnt go in gear, called my partner, when he gets there he sits in for one minute, pulls the clutch up and then it works. ! left to me it would be RAC recovery truck and mild panic, so at least getting some answers on here I can talk some sense to him !!
Hopefully garage will be helpful and compete work under warranty, or no doubt that will be another battle !!

clutch is a wear item and is rarely replaced under warranty -- good luck to you though.
