Well, One thing it could be, which you probably don't want to hear now that you've got it all back together, is swollen internals in the flex line. If you're replacing the master and slave, it's always a good idea to replace the flex line at the same time.
Otherwise, there's not much left in the system, it would have to be inside the bellhousing, either the TO bearing (which usually makes noise as it starts to fail) or the fingers on the pressure plate. Hope it's the flex line.. bs ________________________________ From: Carmen Gicante <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 2:03:35 PM Subject: [alfa] Milano Clutch MC Replacement My thanks to everyone who offered suggestions and encouragement when I attempted to replace the Clutch Master Cylinder. I could not have done it alone. FYI, I also replaced the slave at the same time. It was a unique experience , including bleeding. Now my new problem b the clutch pedal is very, very firm. I suspect a problem with the clutch itself. Ibm concerned that if I drive the Milano in this condition, Ibll eventually blow the Seals in MC due to high pressure in the hydraulic circuit. I suspect that this caused the initial MC failure. Has anyone else experienced a ultra firm pedal and what was the fix.
