No, it's real easy, as long as the bore is not pitted.
Strip it and check- clean bore with some wet/dry paper- (or hone it if U got one)- usually it's just the rubber seal is old and worn out. Kit is cheap, so is a new cylinder!

I've been told mini's are hard to get into first/reverse sometimes, I'm guessing they don't have any synchomesh for those gears? I have alot of trouble getting it into reverse and first, but also when in first or reverse and I've put my foot on the clutch for a minute or two (say at lights) it starts to engage and it's difficult to get out of gear. I adjusted the clucth according to Gregory and it doesn't seem to have made a difference. Any help! |

Sounds like clutch is dragging- you probably have a fluid leak or bad seals- either in the clutch master cylinder, or slave... |

It does look like the slave cylinder may be leaking. Is it hard to reco (or expensive?) |
