clutch problems
 
My clutch pedal got stuck on the floor, checked the clutch fluids and all. but it just won't work. HELP PLEASE Any of you encountered the same case? tried changing the clutch fluids for bleeding, but it only stayed for 2 months, now same case re-occurring again. help please!

have your dealer fix it for you, should still be under warranty. one of the cylinders is probably bad.

Agree with Ken. Also, there are a few threads on this issue over in the tech area. Slave Cylinder is to blame in most cases if I'm remembering right.

I noticed my pedal feeling a little soft and squishy after a few passes at the drag strip. I wonder if just replacing the slave cylinder is a good help that...

This happened to me before. Scared the **** out of me. You may have boiled your clutch fluid. Have a shop or yourself and a friend bleed the clutch fluid and fill it up with some Motul RBF600 brake fluid and get some SS clutch lines and you should be good to go. Tell me how it goes. My clutch kept sticking to the floor, and honestly everyone was telling me that it was either my clutch going out or my slave cylinder. It was neither one of those. If you've been running your car pretty hard recently, I'm pretty sure it's a good chance its just your clutch fluid needing to be replaced. Good luck with it, bro.

I appreciate the help, thanks a lot, but thing is I already tried changing the clutch fluid, and bleeding. and after 2 months, here it is again, wonder if the slave cylinder is the real source of problem here? thanks bro. much love

you may have changed the fluid, but which fluid did you replace it with. as stated go with the MOTUL fluid, try getting a SS clutch line.

Some guys on this forum has similar issues and changing to a SS clutch line and MOTUL fluid got rid of it.

there may be a greater issue here though, but it seems to help alot.
