i;m having some annoying clutch problems..almost like the pressure plate is sticking to the flywheel, even when the clutch pedal is depressed.. i adjusted the cable, and clutch play, but sometimes the car just will not go in to gear. i live in north bay so we get some cold snaps...could moisture possibly be on the flywheel or pressure plate and freezes?

did you adjust correctly...if so it coudl be stretched cable bent clutch fork/worn pivot ball

or toasted clutch

sounds like clutch disengagment issue

pull back the boot and make sure there is clutch fork movement

^^ that would be my first guess.

I would say release bearing

chris_si98

GTFO

imported_magicguy

bring it to a mechanic and have a check on that
GTFO maybe apply to either u or me then, simple

also, try bleeding your clutch line and replacing it with a new fluid.
this will help clean the line out with any air or clog that you might have in there.

g'd luck!

chris_si98

Yeah bleed your mechanically clutch line.

And yeah..

Replace the release bearing because it won't go into gear.

BOTH great recommendations.

****....

Does it go into gear when the car is off?

richep

yea it does

dingus888

get under car and get yoru buddy to press on the clutch does your clutch fork move..?

seems like you need to take it to a mechanic before you break a shift fork or have no synchros left

imported_SMGFANDOTCOM

If the car is off and you stick it in first with the clutch down and start the car...does the car move? Like you never had the clutch down? Like it's sticking and not realesing?


Is this an old clutch? new clutch?

Do you shift hard...a lot...sometimes
