Clutch fluid will wear out and break down, so if you have a vehicle with over 100,000 or 200,000 miles and notice that the clutch fluid is a little dark, this is entirely normal. Go ahead and flush the fluid and see if that fixes your problem.
The clutch assembly can now be removed from the flywheel. Inspection found that the clutch plate had worn close to the end of its service life and the release mechanism was free from lubrication, both of which would contribute to a heavy clutch pedal.

Most cars have a coolant reservoir that have minimum and maximum levels marked on the side, this means that you can simply have a look to see if it is between the ideal levels. How to top up coolant Getting a low level float switch in that tiny reservoir would need a bespoke solution, I very much doubt the standard Ford type brake master cylinder float switch you've linked would fit.
Remove both gear change cables (see below) from the gearbox by pressing in the centre of the nylon ball joint retainers and lifting; then remove the retaining clips on the outer cables. However, these costs will vary depending on the type of vehicle you drive and where you take it for repairs. If you’re fighting a squishy clutch pedal and your fluid looks clean (or…even if it doesn’t) you may have an air bubble in your hydraulic line. In a lot of cases, a simple bleeding can fix the issue. Keep reading for details on that process. Changing Hydraulic Clutch Fluid To begin, you’re going to have follow the fluid line from the reservoir/slave cylinder down into the engine/transmission.Next, examine the quality/color of the fluid itself. Normally, the fluid is clear with perhaps a yellowish tint. But if you haven’t changed it in a while, there’s a good chance it’ll be cloudy, dirty, and dark. If that’s the case, you should purge/bleed the system to replace the old fluid.
The clutch master cylinder is the chamber where your vehicle pushes the clutch fluid to help you disengage your clutch. There is a pushrod on one end of the cylinder, and when you depress the clutch, you push this rod against the clutch fluid, which pushes it to the slave cylinder and eventually to the clutch fork in the transmission. Be very careful when you handle antifreeze – it is poisonous. And as a side note, it can also damage your car’s paintwork, so try and avoid any spillages. No, we’re not yanking your chain; clutch fluid is a real thing. And if you’re looking in the clutch fluid reservoir, the fluid should always be at the same height. Otherwise, you have a problem somewhere in the system, and the most likely culprit is a leaking clutch master cylinder.You’ll also need to replace the clutch fluid, which usually consists of brake fluid. This is a small cost, but you’ll need to factor it in. If your clutch fluid has dropped dramatically, then it’s likely that your clutch is going to engage at a different point too. The usual result is that you’ll have to fully depress the clutch pedal to disengage the clutch, which is typically far different than your usual engagement point.
They only hold an egg cup full of fluid at best and even less in a Chimaera because TVR didn't fit the cylinder in the horizontal plane as it was designed to be. Don’t rush this, it’s better to put in oil little and often, as over-filling can cause leaks. Coolant/Antifreeze Here is a more detailed list of the signs of a bad or failing clutch master cylinder to look for: 1. Low Clutch Fluid If the reservoir is empty, you’ll have to bleed the brakes. Since most modern cars have some sort of advanced braking system, then you will likely have to take it to a professional to get this done properly.

Don’t worry, you don’t need any fancy tools or expertise to do this, all you need is a few paper towels and 5 spare minutes. Before you begin
