clutch pedal sticking
hey i got a eg sedan and when i go to start it in the morning the clutch pedal always get stuck down and i have to pull it back up.. if i press it again and try and put it in gear it doesnt go in and grinds. if i keep pumping the pedal for a few seconds it seems to make the clutch feel normal and it works fine. what can be causing this?

your slave cylinder is gone.
also you could just try bleeding your clutch,it could help but it sounds like its grabbing air through slave cylinder. |
the slave is the one bolted to the front of the tranny? or is it the one in the firewall?
|
slave is bolted to the transmission.
Pull the boot back ON THE SLAVE. You;'ll have to pull the big boot back first, then the boot on the slave. If fluid pours out, the cylinder is pooched. If it doesnt, I would try and bleed your system. Brake fluid attracts moisture and over time that can form air bubbles. |
i havent checked the boots yet but if it was leaking wouldnt i see fluid on the ground? but ill check the boot. whats the proceedure of bleeding clutch?
|
In most cases you will not see any fluid leaking
|
just make sure the resivor is fulled with clituch fluid or a alternative is break fluid. i had the same problem, and it turned out that i had a leak in the slave gasket

brake fluid is "clutch fluid".
I had this same problem happen to me one day when I came outside from work. All I did was bleed the slave cylinder and the problem was gone, luckily. |
to bleed it you need a friend to work the clutch. and an 8mm wrench. you'll see the bleeder screw sticking up out of it pointing toward the driver head light. have you friend press down the pedal and hold it down. you then open the bleder and fliud comes out and prolly air. close the bleeder and have them pull the pedal up if it doesn't come up on it's own. then repeat untill you get a steady stream of fliud with no air bubbles or sputtering. then go sit in the car and feel the pedal for your self. DO NOT JUST ASK HOW THE PEDAL FEELS AND TRUST THEIR JUDGMENT. try that and if tomorrow you have the same problem, pm me I have a slave for you.
