Default Clutch gone after renewing ps fluid...

First of all, thank you for this magnificent forum, I spent a lot of time reading here. But now the time has come that I really need your help.

Alright, i'm a bit depressed. Just got back inside after a test drive of about 30m (meters, i'm from a little town called Belgium).

I decided to change my ps fluid as the guys in the shop had put in actual ps fluid and not the atf... Think I did everything oke, I have been reading a lot on this forum.

Now the strange part, as I got on the road and wanted to change to 2nd, there was no 2nd. Also al the other gears were completly useless. Thougt maybe the little lever to engage diff lock and high and low gear wasn't in the right position but that wasn't the problem.

I find it hard to believe that I screwed up the clutch just by replacing my ps fluid... Is this just a coincidence or am I really a clumsy little person.

Any help is very welcome, I really love that disco I...


Thanks in advance,

Roeland

The PS fluid is a completely segregated unit. The clutch reservoir is on the firewall, right next to the brake reservoir. It is possible that the issue just happened.....
