so i get into the car, start it up, the clutch pedal feels like it's useless. normally, with my foot on the brake pedal, the clutch will engage even to where the brake pedal is... now it is catching like 2 inches off the floor, then flops the rest of way out.... what can this be, i'm assuming either the throw out bearing or possibly the whole clutch, i doubt it's the pressure plate b/c i've heard you really have to beat the hell out of it to break it. anybody know what this is or have had this problem before. thank you

 

for a leak?

from talkin to people who know their stuff, i'm pretty sure it's either the master or slave cylinder, i heard the repair kit is like 6 bucks to buy... it's a hydraulic clutch by the way... hopefully it won't be too much of a bitch to fix.... thanks for your help

 

if you replace it or fix it.. just make sure you bleed the lines and keep that resivour full so you dont pump air into the lines.. talk about a pain in the *** then... LOL

 

any ideas how much this is gonna cost me?

 

bleed the car yourself.

take a 8mm wrench and losen the clutch bleed valve and bleed away. be sure to keep filling the clutch fluid reservior.

Then you probably need to replace the slave cylinder.
