Re: Clutch time
I suspect under your limited usage your slave cylinder is starting to leak. They are very touchy anyway. There is also a bushing in the linkage at the rod end of the master cylinder. It is plastic and if it gets worn it will make your linkage just long enough to make it hard to get into gear. You said the clutch is slipping in gear. This will have nothing to do with the slave or master cylinder. Once it is in gear it's in gear. If your flywheel is not rattling when it idles or shakes when you shut it off chances are it's good yet. You can put a new clutch and pressure plate complete kit from Luk or whomever in for a couple of hundred dollars. If you put in a new bushing ($10.00) and slave cylinder (($65.00) and new clutch and pressure plate ($200.00) you should be good to go. You can do a more complete check on the dual mass when you get it out. As long as the springs are good, (not worn in spots) you can tell when you look at it,and the surface of the flywheel seems good for your usage it will last a long time.
