Hi guys need help with transmission issue.
went for a drive and all sudden my 2008 Cooper s 6 spd transmission feel really light on clutch pedal and not be able to shift.
Need help with any Info would be appreciated?
Thank you in advance for all the expert in this forum that would share the info!🙏

 

Any recent clutch work ?
Output slave cylinder / maybe air bubbles in the line from leak ?

 

No recent clutch done and also the pedal is not drop on the floor, it really light when I press it down, it feel like no pressure at all and it making squeaking sound.
thank you 🙏

 

A spongy clutch pedal or long pedal travel sounds like symptoms of the slave cylinder going out....the input slave at firewall can be a PITA to replace and bleed.
I believe mine was replaced around 110k miles.

 

thank you so much for the info, I will work on it tomorrow, and keep you updated 🙏

 

hi Eurotrasher,
there is no sign of leake on slave cylinder or should I just replace it?
i see some leake on the transmission on it
I have included the pic of slave cylinder and leaking part
thank you 🙏

 

Just for the heck of it, since (output slave ) is dry, check the level of the brake fluid reservoir.

The brake fluid reservoir serves the purpose of both hydraulic brakes and the clutch. The two bottom connections off the brake fluid reservoir are for the brake system...the plastic one ABOVE those two are for the clutch....Unfortunately when the fluid gets low past the feeder tube for the clutch it will get air into the system making for spongy clutch pedal.

If thats the case, you will need to top off with DOT 4, and bleed the output slave where that photo is. It can be a PITA and tougher to do while its attached to the car as the output slave itself can and will harbor air and impossible to bleed until its completely compressed. The make a tool to keep it compressed, most DIY guys just make one out of a piece of wood and two nuts/long bolts, or 6-8 inches of plumbers strap and the aforementioned hardware. Will need someone inside the car to lightly press clutch while your bleeding system too.

Check you tube for any DIY steps for it....should be plenty in there.
