Hey guys. I got a beater about a month ago and the R has mostly been sitting in the garage. I take it down the road here and there. Well last night My buddy who was down from college, asked for a ride. Long story short we get back to my driveway and the clutch petal goes to the floor and doesn't comeback up. It goes into any gear still. I can pull it back up but when I depress it again its mushy as ****. The shitty part is that I just got a new clutch and my fly wheel resurfaced in mid march.
Before I burned it up last night, I waited for it to come to temperature and everything was normal till I came back.
Thanks
p.s. Guys the car won't move. Its not like I can drive it we had to push it in the garage.
It goes in the gears but no movement. forward or reverse
I thought i explained that.

Have you checked your clutch fluid?

 

Sounds like it needs to be bled.

 

Would I bleed both cyclinders or just the master??


thanks guys. keep'um coming

 

When you bleed you are trying to get the air out of the line, so in affect you are bleeding both but not really, just bleeding the system not the cylinders.

Simple task to do. 8mm wrench losen the nut a little, then down and up, with opening and closing the nut. repeat and rinse.

 

At first I was thinking hydraulics, but that only affects disengagment. If the car won't move when it is in gear, you have something else wrong. broken diaphragm maybe? Expoded disc (linings blown off)? Anyone else have ideas? What else will cause the pedal to drop to the floor and prevent the clutch from transferring the power?

 

will it let u shift gears without the clutch pedal being down? (car on)
sounds very odd.

 

Okay, didn't see that in my original posts (car doesn't move).

As long as you're absolutely sure it won't move when engaged, you're going to have to pull the tranny off again and inspect the clutch.
