Clutch 700 86

posted by  someone claiming to be gerry filliger on  Wed Nov 22 03:23 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hi All,

I'm hoping for some help in diagnosing an intermitent clutch problem. I have an 86 740T with hydrolic clutch. The clutch etc. and slave cylinder was replaced approx 1.5 years ago by Volvo dealer. Just recently it started to quit on an itermitent basis. Seems to be most likely to happen if I hold the pedal down a little longer than normal. Then the pedal goes limp and I can't shift. Pedal comes back with double clutching (so far at least!). Problem would seem to be hydrolic. Tried bleeding the line. Got some air out but has not solved the problem. Question: is there a definitive way to isolate the problem to the master or slave cylinder? Since the master is shared with brakes would the brakes show signs of problem if it were the master? Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gerry
