Sweet! well...atleast for me getting it right haha. On the plus side. 0k miles on that new CSC :tup::tup:

Its good that they diagnosed the problem, hopefully you dont have anymore hiccups.

Looks like it will all work out well with the slight inconvenience. At least you weren't on travel in the middle of nowhere land. Glad to hear it will be fixed at no charge to you. Plus, you are now more aware of clutch related issues than you probably ever wanted to be!

I had a slave cylinder go out on the eclipse, ohhh man it sucks, luckily it didnt cost a fortune to fix.

Yep, you nailed it. Minor inconvenience and I can now diagnose yet another Z failure. Thanks for all of your help!
Man it started to go on Monday. It very well could have gone out on my way back from the gym. I had to pop the clutch pedal up twice while I was driving.

I got a mitsubishi outlander as a rental and man is this thing weird. It's a SUV with crappier than usual handling and...paddle shifters.

I do not understand paddle shifters on a SUV

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum. I'm having similar issues with my car. I have a full HP Logic Twin Turbo kit and engine build. It's a 2009, 36,000 miles on it.

My clutch pedal is stuck all the way to the floor. Only my situation seems to be a little different because my fluid reservoir is still full.

The car has sat for 3 days because I thought it may be a heat issue and I started it today to pull it into the garage, and my clutch pedal depressed about an inch before getting stuck.

Does anyone have any insight on what could be going on with mine? Could it be the slave cylinder?


Thanks in advance.

So uh...you're running a TT build with the stock clutch?

Questions:
Can you pop the clutch up with your toe / does it snap back all the way up?
Any smells/wacky delays in acceleration?

Dude, you need to have your car towed to a mechanic.. simple as that.

Lack of fluid is only one representation of a failed CSC. Your issue sounds very similar and may in fact be a failed CSC. Is your clutch/flywheel/CSC all stock?!?

Hell no with a stock clutch. Lol. But it's not an after market slave cylinder.

The clutch pedal will snap all the way up if I do it with my foot. But as soon as I push it, it will return equally as fast to the floor. Do you get what I'm saying?

No smells or delays. I drove it about 12 miles with no clutch keeping the car in 4th gear. No slippage or funky smells.


Towing it is going to be a bit of an ordeal since the car literally sits 3 inches off the ground. I'm looking more to gain insight on parts to buy for when I can finally get the chance to get it up on a lift.


The CSC is stock, not the clutch or the flywheel.

Yeah that's exactly what mine was doing. Very likely the CSC or a leak/blockage between the CSC and the fluid resevoir.

I'm with E/W though... If you can't get it to a mechanic, find a mechanic and bring him to the car.

Probably me just being paranoid but I'm wondering if the CSC leak I had was indicative of a large clutch problem. Makes me nervous... Dealership would check that you'd think...right?

Negative on a larger issue. Known issue with the CSC, just like the steering lock issue. You should be fine now that it's been replaced.

Sooner or later a slave cylinder will go out on manual transmissions.. I've come to notice.
