snapped the cap off the clutch pedal where the master cylinder locates

[philbatesvr6 0]

well i was gunning it down the a500 and i was changing gear hard then the pedal stuck down, i thought oh fcuk iv burst the pipe or some thing

so i managed get it in 3rd and limped home ,

when i was there the first thing i did was check the pipes , all ok so i checked the pedal and found that the master cylinder rod had pushed through the plastic block and snapped the cap off the housing that locates it to the pedal

so iv welded the cap back on and tmorrow m going refit it all and giv it a try

jus wounderng if this was a common poblem or a one off ? *-)

id say that the problem was the slave cylinder being connected to the pedal, normally thats where the master cylinder goes.

did u take the pedal off mate mine has done the same and snapped the rod off the master cyclinder aswell.

so i have a new master cyclinder and the plastic clip. does the bit of metal on the top of the pedal weld to the top or kind of fit in???

i jus cleaned it up and welded it back on but i did a complete run round it not jus a few spot welds its as good as new now if not better, and yea i took the pedal off all to gether it was a bitch ti put back on thigh cuz the shaft movd so i couldnt get the snap ring back on but i sorted it in the end
