Perhaps a workshop manual for your step by step guide?

I recently had problems with our NB clutch...as it turns out all it was was the master cylinder so i put in new master & slave cylinder kits plus new fluid & a slight adjustment to the pedal rod and all has been fine----the clutch fluid was black-as with grunge & was causing the rubber seals to leak back & lose compression!

Might pay to check it first before the clutch job--our one has done 200,000 km.

i had a problem with the master cylinder where it was leaking just a bit where the pedal rod comes out..over time it rusted the end of the cylinder at the circlip. meaning it didnt return to its home position causing the clutch to slip..

its one thing to check before pulling out the gearbox.

If it hasnt been replaced for a couple of years or if it looks dark & not transparent then it needs doing.Take the cap off the reservoir and have a good look.

One of the cups inside my master cylinder was twisted allowing fluid to pass-sometimes we couldnt get it in or out of gear which was scary as it wouldnt stop unless you jammed the brake on hard & stalled it!

I would recommend the fluid & kit regardless as doing clutches require a lot of grunting & cursing
