Ford Mondeo Mk3 2.0 petrol - Feels like clutch cable gone on hydraulic clutch - Andy_r

Hi there,

Mk3 Mondeo has suddenly lost its clutch and felt like the cable had snapped. The pedal has no resistance and goes straight to the floor. There is still plenty of fluid in the reservoir, so it looks like it isn't spewing fluid out of the slave cylinder (at least not quickly). Does this mean the master cylinder is passing fluid back as far as the fluid input? What else could be wrong?

Ta!

If you are not loosing fluid then yes, I would say the problem is with the master cylinder. You can check by getting someone to watch the fluid level whicle you push the pedal down, if it doesn't go down then its the master cylinder.
