  • Clutch help!!!

    The firmness of my clutch pedal has been getting progressively worse over the last month or two. It finally got to the point where there was no pressure except right near the floor, so it was becoming more difficult to get it in gear. This happened with a truck I used to own and I bled the clutch no probelm. I just bled the clutch on this car and now I have absolutely no pressure at all! I know there can't be any air in the line because the fluid coming out is clear and I went through a whole bottle. Am I doing something wrong or is there a more serious problem? Anyone know?

    Sounds like the slave cylinder went/or is going bad.

        kinda sounds like a clutch master cylinder. can you pump it at all? if so then pump it and see if you can build up pressure.

          Can't pump it, no pressure at all. I tried pumping it for about 5 min. and it didn't do anything. If its not leaking any fluid is there any way to tell whether it's the master or slave cylinder?

              Definitely sounds like and air in the system. If its not leaking… than check if your hoses are not plugged, do a Drill mod, , if not start replacing parts, the master first..
              Keep us posted.

                I Got desperate on Sunday because I didn't have a ride to work, so I decided to try and pump the pedal some more. Sat there for a long time until my leg got tired, but it felt a little firmer right near the floor. 5 more minutes of pumping it and it's back to normal! Thanks for the help guys, that definitely saved me some money. I didn't think it needed to be pumped because I had done this on 2 other cars and the pedals firmed up right after bleeding the line.

                BTW iGoRa, what's the drill mod?
