There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Clutch
- Thread starter Mcar
- Start date
I have a hydraulic clutch, fluid is full, no air in the line. The clutch goes to nothing only when the engine gets hot, then goes back to normal after the engine cools down

Sounds like the problem I had on my 2013 ST.
Change the clutch fluid. Moisture in the fluid can cause this type of problem.
When the engine gets hot the moisture vaporizes in the fluid.
Change the fluid with a good flush. Get all the black out of the reservoir.
Perform a good bleed of the clutch followed by a long ryde.
If the problem still persists you may need to change the O rings in the clutch slave cylinder.
Good Luck, David C.

What part..?
:agree: if we are talking about the clutch lever and it's operating the plates and discs. Agree it's a good place to start .... Check the fluid by removing the cap as the sight glass is not the best way to tell. Mine operated normal but when hot would not go into gear. Pulled the cap and found the reservoir empty. You can also pull the cover to the slave to see if it is leaking...

My question is, what do you mean when you say, "when the engine gets to operating temp the clutch dies"? When you pull in on the clutch lever does it do nothing, meaning the clutch doesn't disengage the engine from the transmission. Does it mean that the clutch acts like the clutch lever is pulled in when it isn't, meaning the engine spins but you don't go anywhere?
