Hello, the clutch bite point on my 1991 Volvo 740 has progressively gotten worse over the last months. Car gradually got more "jumpy" when getting into 1st gear from a standstill
Last week the clutch disappeared completely. When starting the car, it jumps forwards on the starter motor, even though I press the clutch pedal in. So the clutch seems to be engaged all the time, making the car unsafe to drive..
Laying under the car, the slave cylinder moves while the clutch pedal is depressed, but it seems weak? Tried to put a nut between the slave cylinder and fork to increase the throw (in case the pivot nut was worn), but then the cylinder almost wouldn't extend anymore when depressing the pedal..
I understand that the clutch fluid reservoar is the same box as the brake fluid reservoar (pizza slice shaped box), albeit with separate chambers inside the white box
Do you have any tips on how I can bleed the clutch hydraulics, or what else might be wrong?
