clutch problem

Hi, new to the site, i've got a e36 320i and just recently i thought the clutch had gone so took it to the local place who specialise in this. They rang to tell me it was the slave cylinder so to save time i just told them to do it. Picked the car up following day to find the clutch spongy and the biting point literally millimeters off the floor but the mechanic was'nt in. I've checked for leaks and had a look in master reservoir only to find it over full, fluid is black and lumpy. Surely they would replace the fluid especially after charging me £130??? They are going to have a look monday again but reckon with the slave cylinder been new it may be causing other problems(think theyr trying to get me to have clutch done) but the clutch operates fine it just does'nt feel right. Nybody any ideas???

Cheers Neill

Possibe they didnt bleed the cluch line properly causing that "odd" feeling. When its in there on monday make sure you tell them that you want all that fluid changed.

Yeah, I agree use it first but it's also better to have a second opinion
