i have transit van 2001 the clutch doesn't work, it has gone soft, i hanged the clutch slave cylinder it was fine for 3 days and went again this morning had to be towed back. Does anyone know why? thanks

Could be down to the clutch itself. If it is the incorrect clutch the cylinder could be overstroking. Master cylinder could also be pressurising too much. Is this FWD or RWD?

Hi

If it squirts out the nipple then surely the nipple is loose?
The clutch itself should be about 100quid but fitting can be double that depending on where you take it. The Dual Mass Flywheel needs to be checked as well if you are taking the clutch off.
