[urq] Weird clutch

[Bill Bennett]

if you are losing brake fluid, find the leak in the clutch system, and 
replace the bad hose or slave cylinder if you are not losing fluid, bad new 
clutch master cylinder, unexpected clutch engagement could cause you to be a 
spot on the road, fix it, if you are not adding fluid, I would suspect the 
new master is bad. Best, Bill

Subject: [urq] Weird clutch


A long time ago I had an issue with a crap clutch (LuK) which I sorted by 
swapping for a Sachs. Problem solved.
I now have another weird problem with the clutch.
Sometimes when maybe sitting in traffic if my foot lingers on the clutch 
pedal for any length of time the clutch will suddenly engage and the car 
will try to surge forwards. The only thing to do when this happens is wrench 
it out of gear or if there is enough space to the car in front, lift off 
theclucth and imediately press again.
The car has has a new master cylinder, new slave cylinder, new pipe 
connecting the two. It has been bled and bled again. No air appears to be in 
the fluid.
I have checked to see if the over-centre spring mechanism is doing anything 
odd but is does not seem to be.
Any ideas? All suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers
