my clutch...its happening more and more often now. Every couple shifts my pedal stays on the floor....it feels like it is getting caught on the carpet but I've looked into that. When it sticks I can lift it back up a bit with my toe and then it pops all the way back up. Sometimes it sticks when I go to upshift into 3rd.....but it sticks disengaged so I end up grinding the gear. I wish I could troubleshoot more but it seems to only happen a couple times when I first start driving and then it clears up. I also haven't had the chance to stick my head down into the footwell while I am driving but it doesn't feel like a spring issue. I checked the fluid in the master cylinder and it was low so I topped it up but my pedal still sticks on the floor. I dug around in my manual and I now suspect the clutch release cylinder to be at fault. QUestion is where is it located? And can someone explain to me the purpose of this and how it works with the clutch master cylinder and entire clutch system. I'm stumped
a couple things, check the hydrolics, sounds like they may be failing. did you install the throwout bearing correctly? is the clutch fork hooked to the throwout bearing?
i edited my description a bit. I put this motor in almost 3 years ago now....that is the last time the clutch/tranny system has even been touched except for a fluid change. This just started happening when I put it on the road this year edit: If I understand what role the clutch release cylinder plays I'm pretty confident I can fix the problem. Like I said I suspect it needs to be replaced and the system bled
the pressure plate returns the pdeal or the pressure plate sends hydraulic fluid to the clutch release cylinder....which then returns the pedal?
the plate. it pushes the fork back which pushes the slave rod back which puses fluid to the master which pushes the piston back which pushes the pedal back.
oh that little thing. I saw it on the new tranny and wasn't quite sure what it was. I knew it connected to the clutch fork but that was about it.
alright....now which one do I change. I think I will price out a master cylinder and replace it today....or am I better off just doing both while I have to bleed the system anyways?
