Reply to "Grinding noise when shifting : syncs or clutch ?"

Hello.

Here's the updated status : I replaced the leaking Master Cylinder (bought from PIM : new but already leaking

) by a new one (Ferodo Europe).

No more leak, but what a hell of a bleeding session ! I finally got it by putting 0.5 bar pressure on the MC, lifting the rear of the car and continuously taping on the circuit in order to help moving air bubbles.

At first start, it didn't seem to be enough, because the pedal was too soft on the first half of its stroke : I couldn't manage to shift in reverse nor 1st gear... After many attempts and maybe 5-10 minutes idling, the pedal got more and more firm. I guess that engine vibrations helped to free the lines and circuit components from remaining bubbles...
The following 45 miles road test confirmed that all is ok now.

Many thanks to all of you for your support !
