    Hi all
    Driving home last night the clutch pedal got really hard to press,though gear changing still possible.
    Now when I pump the pedal on release there is the noise of escaping air/hissing
    Any idea on this please.Am I looking at a new clutch? And if so what approx cost parts and labour? 120,000 km on clock
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

    Its more likely to be a slave/master cylinder issue from the sounds of it, which are peanuts to replace compared to a clutch, but you'll have to check with a mechanic to be sure if you've no idea yourself. Hopefully its not a worn clutch fork.

    Wouldn't expect any more than 100-150, it's no more than an hours work for any decent mechanic imo.
