I took the cap off of my clutch master cylinder and watched the fluid level
and compared it with what I've seen on brakes.
In my 69 Dodge Coronet, the fluid level would immediately rise when the
brake pedal was depressed, and would immediately fall when the pedal was
released. Simple.
With my MGB clutch, the fluid rises immediately when the clutch pedal is
depressed, but is very slow in falling when the pedal is released. It is
during this "slow fall", that the clutch either works poorly or not at all.
Is this "slow fall" normal? Does it tell me what component is causing my
problem?
