Jim, Where in New Jersey?? I'm in Kenilworth, North Jersey. DOT 4 is
correct if it had DOT 3 or 4 in it. I don't know what happens if it had
DOT5 and DOT 4 is added. If oil got into it, then what you are describing is
exactly what happens, all the seals swell to almost double size.
Easy test, if you can push the pedal with the bleeder screw loosened and
fluid comes out, master is working and easy guess is the slave is likley
siezed. Doubt the clutch itself is hung up. I found a source for
inexpensive slave cylinders if you need, if it's the master I probably have
a spare.
My cell is 908-591-9892, give a call if I can be of any help

Subject: [Roadsters] Clutch Question
I just got my 2000 1969 back together after a complete engine and trans
rebuild. 2 years, a bit of procrastinating and weather.
Today is is warm here in NJ, so I decided to do some final stuff. I
started her up, balanced the carbs, setthe timing and then went to bleed the
clutch.
The pedal would not move, and won't unless I push VERY hard. It moved fine
3 weeks ago, and since it was low, I added fluid. DOT4.
Did I use the wrong fluid?
Do I need to rebuild the cylinder? I didn'ttouch the master of slave in
this rebuild.
Thanks in advance.
