Re: Can't get Focus into gear (manual)... and then I can. until I can't...

Just read on another forum about a suggestion to "pump the clutch to build pressure" with a master cylinder fault.

Does that work? If so could that explain things?

With all the switching the car on and off, and repeatedly depressing the clutch pedal trying to get it into gear, have I been inadvertently building pressure and that's why it suddenly works and stays working during the journey?

Perhaps this would also explain why it worked for a few weeks after repair, and then has suddenly "gone bad" again (presumably a slow leak, and now the cylinder is empty?)

Although the Ford garage did say all the fluid levels were ok...
