The obvious sign is not being able to put into any gears and the pedal gets real soft to where when you push it to the floor, it won't come back up.....If you replace one part, you should replace the other

 

ive been threw all kinds of clutch problems,
if your clutch has trouble goin down, check the master cylinder
if the clutch has problems coming back up, check the slave cylinder
if you have trouble getting it into gear, my problem was part of my clutch broke off in the tranny

not those then... the pedal is very stiff though...

I replaced the clutch in my old mazda which also had a hydraulic clutch, and that was like a new car when I got it replaced, pedal was rough before, and lighter and smoother after.... I have no paperwork to say that the clutch has been replaced, so I guess its original - Ill have to look under there when the weather gets better, and my knee stops being gay.

I wouldnt say that the car is not still fun to drive, its just that my car is in great condition, with 64k on the clock, and the feel of the clutch doesnt reflect the way the rest of the car is... But yes, harder than it should be to push down, and a bit juddery on engagement and changing gear.

I was just imagining that if I was a girl (please spare me the pleasure of what you are thinking!), and if I was (and this is purely hypothetical), I wouldnt be getting on with it - as Im 6" and about 200 pounds, and even i feel its on the heavy side.

:upside: If you were a girl? Clutch problems? I... just can't make a connection here brotha:kungfu: haha

My slave cylinder just died, no warning. I drove my car home one night fine, went out the next morning, went to start her up, the clutch went straight to the floor with no resistance. The car would start, but wouldn't go into gear. Got the replacement part and clutch fluid for like $50 at Advanced Auto, and she's been running perfect ever since :emthup:

My Plymouth Laser does the same thing. It'll start up fine but when the engine is idling and I try to put it into gear, its tough but the clutch pedal is very easy to push in. So these are symptoms of a bad slave cylinder??? Maybe I should have that replaced.

 

Check your fluids. If you were full, and then all of the sudden it's empty, its normally the slave dumping, but could be the master as well.

 

I had a problem with the clutch pedal sticking to the floor so I just bled the clutch and it works good as new. :emthup:

 

How do you do that? Is that something i can do at home on my own? Becuz i had a moment where my clutch pedal was stuck to the ground. We had replaced a part of the pedal or near it becuz the clutch was disengagging to high, but after that on the way home, the pedal got stuck twice. It doesnt seem to do it anymore, any ideas?

 

well clutch master cylinder, when its running out of liquids and what not the clutch will feel real rough and not smooth when being pressed in.
if the clutch slave is failing, running out of fluids then the clutch will feel real soft coming back up, or wont come back up at all.

 

we checked the slave, it seemed fine. Im going back wenesday to have it looked at

we replaced a part on the pedal that was making the clutch disengage way too high, so we put a new pice that shorted it alot. Wasnt sure if it was that piece and it was breaking in or what. It hasnt got stuck since tho. I dont know really. Its wierd. THe guy said it cud be a kink in one of the clutch lines.

 

i have the same prob with my master is yours an sh?

i replaced my master,Slave and two motor mounts and the car still has trouble getting into first and shifting trough gears.

some times if you have it in 1st with the clutch down the car like bangs and wants to move what do you guys think is wrong some peeps said my syncros are gone but i can shift though the gears with the clutch down but driveing i have to wait for the rpms to drop or double clutch

 

I am having almost identical symptoms of the OP... except the difference is that when my symptoms are occuring, the clutch is HARDER to push down to the floor, not easier. Also, even with the clutch fully depressed to the floor, the clutch isn't truly disengaged fully... I noticed this because of two reasons. 1), when i push it all the way to the floor, there is no "play" between the floor and where the clutch is usually fully disengaged... like those couple inches of play you normally get between disengaging the clutch fully, and then hitting the floor board... it's just straight pressure all the way down... and 2) when i start the car with the gear selecter in 1st gear already, it will start to creep forward slowly as if i am letting my foot off the clutch slightly.
