Heavy Clutch

Technical Area Engine, Transmission, Exhaust etc
2

Have recently brought a 2002 MX5 with an abnormally heavy clutch pedal action. Have consulted other MX5 club users who confirm you need a very heavy left foot.  This takes away the enjoyment of driving particularly in town.  I have no history of a Clutch replacement although the car has done 100000 miles.  There are no mechanical noises, no slip but needs the pedal to go to the floor forfull  disengagement. No oil leaks from either the master or slave cylinder. Am I looking at a new clutch or new seals in the cylinders.

Would appreciate any suggestions before I start dismantling

Hi Bob,<o:p></o:p>

Try bleeding the clutch slave first, could be the clutch has been changed, try somebody else’s clutch pedal and see if it the same as yours.<o:p></o:p>
