Just went to take a ride in my series 5. (I even waxed it last night
for British car week.) While engaging the clutch to back out of the
drive way, it made a single click sound. At the same time, I lost
some of the resistance in the clutch pedal. My 1st thought (a hopeful
thought) was that a return spring had broken. I checked both the a
heavy spring at the pedal and the lighter spring at the slave
cylinder; both seemed to be working fine.
I thought "maybe it was just my imagination" (Another hopeful
thought.) Started out again and noticed a definite difference in the
clutch. It has less resistance than normal and it engages at the
bottom of the pedal travel, way earlier than it used to. It's also
not as positive as it should be.
Any thoughts from the list on what the problem is? ...or
recommendations as to how to proceed?
