WTF? I thought you were an experienced mechanic or something?

First of all, were talking clutch here not brakes.
Clutch hydraulics has nothing to do with ABS.
And Thirdly. I dont even have ABS. Good ol 1990s. ABS was an option on the Series 1 Legacy. But was standard equipment on the Series 2.

You should start by checking the wiper fluid, make sure it's at least 50% full, then drain your fuel tank and sump....fill them with the same water you use for washing your tyres, I guarantee the clutch will never bother you again.

Soz the master cyl didn't work but at least you've got a spare now.

Try this. Seems to be either the release arm for the release bearing or a flexihose on the slave cylinder fouling. Let us know if it helps http://bbs.scoobynet.com/drivetrain-...tml?showfull=1

Well, my clutch fork release spring is still there and fully operational. Release (thrust) bearing was replaced with a new one.

I'll check for kinks or problems in the hose

Nice find there phizzle

i think he means that the clutch line goes from the reserviour and master cyl to the slave via a remote bleeder, mounted higher up behind the rh strut tower..looks sorta abs'ish. Except not

its has to be 2 only things.
1 your slave cylinder which is near your gearbox or the master cylinder.. you need to replace both... and that will fix your problem...

Get under the dash and have a good look at the clutch/brake pivots and the bolts mounting them under the dash.

They may be binding together ( unlikely as they are seperate assemblies I know) but nothing else seems to be working for you.
It seems strange it only occurs under heavy braking which leads me to believe the brake pedal is pulling the clutch pedal down somehow.

Cheers
Ken
