    clutch pedal fading

    After having changed my steering rack I had disconnected my abs system etc. And ever since that my clutch is acting a bit strange. I have tried to bleed it several times, but it does not seem to help.. The problem is when I use the clutch "a lot", i goes closer and closer to the floor, and after a while I can't release the clutch at all.. there is no pedal at all, and it sticks to the floor.. if i pull the pedal out again, at let i stay there for a while, it works fine again, untill i push it a lot again.. driving during rush hours and so is a pita.... when I bleed it I put pressure to the fluid canister, and open the valve at the gearbox.. maybe this is not a good way to bleed the clutch?

    Maybe your master or slave cylinder piston seal is leaking. New cylinder cost 30-50 €.

        Pedal Stuck - Master Pushrod Bent or Seals are gone.
        My bet is on seals in your case.

          if the seals are gone, will it leak, og just an internal leak?
          the pushrod is not bent, cause if I leave it out for a while it's fine again..
          og if I "pump" the pedal around the "connection point" it builds up again..

            I had the same symptoms on my UR, no fluid loss but the seals had failed.

              Betting on seals in master cylinder. A leak in the slave causes fluid loss, a leak in the internal seal of the master causes no loss as the fluid just moves from one chamber to another. It just so happends I have a couple of used masters somewhere in my workshop - give me a call Silverboy and I`ll see if I can hook you up with one at a bargain price
              Now you see me, now you don`t
