Title: Clutch Issues
Post by: Racinjj on May 14, 2008, 08:42:48 pm: I just got my new (used) car today and everything is great on it except the clutch doesnt work. Anyone have any idea as to why the clutch wouldnt work after sitting all winter. The pedal feels good and has fluid.
Thanks

Glad it's working now, might be a good time to change the oil. You want an oil that is compatable with the wet clutch sytem in these cars. The oil bottle should have the intitals JASO on it, we're using Lucas Synthetic Motorcycle oil.

You did not state what your clutch issue is. Perhaps you would share the problem.
