timmy43016 Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 hey quick question...on my way to work today i was driving and the clutch pedal got stuck to the ground and i had to coast down bethel road...i was in the middle of the street and i physically tried to pull the pedal out and the pedal lifted but the clutch was kinda soft. i was at this point still unable to shift. i pushed the car accross the street to a parking lot. when i got it to the spot i tried the clutch again and it worked just fine. so i pulled out and a half mile down the road and the clutch feels like its onlt half way up or released or whatever you wanna call it. now it wont let me shift and i had to slam it into 2nd just to get it to krogers on bethel. what could this be...help please.

Guest Ranger_Man Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 probably dead/soon to be dead clutch master cylinder. shouldnt be too expensive or hard to replace. at least it isnt for 240s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20G TSi Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 definately a master or slave cyl. (prolly master). Mine will do that too if you slowly press in the clutch - it'll go right to the floor. If you stab the clutch a few times, it'll likely go back to feeling normal.

supldys Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 you can try bleeding the slave cylinder, see if it helps. you have plenty of fluid right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmy43016 Posted June 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 i havent checked the fluid, i didnt have any idea what the hell would of caused it...ill check when i get off work. doesnt the master cyl work the brakes? would that have any bearing over my clutch? it just sounds like maybe the slave cyl would be closer...i dont know though...

Guest fooked Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Once the master cylinder goes, don't you usally end up with clutch fluid running down the pedal? I would have to agree with everyone else though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow4now Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Check the fluid level. You will find that it is probably completely empty. If it isn't empty, you have air in the system somewhere and need to bleed it. Next check around the clutch pedal and slave cylinder for leaks. If neither is leaking, check the line from the slave cylinder to the master cylinder looking for leaks in the lines and at all connections.

controler Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Isn't this the first sign of crankwalk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
