Once in a while my clutch grips even when the pedal is on the floor. So I went today to adjust the pedal, and noticed the metal rod, piston and the metal plate under the dashboard are all wet. Does it mean my master clutch cylinder is leaking?

 

Yes, change it, change your slave cyl as well as it might leak prematurely as it will be the weaker point in the system.

Yep - its better to change both, rahter than one. Its definately your master though - i'm just agreeing.

 

Allright, thanks for the quick reply guys. I'll have it looked at tomorrow. Good thing I bought the extended warranty. I've already had the alternator, entire AC (clutch, coil and compressor), PS pump replaced for various reasons, and all for free.

Lately it's become almost impossible to shift into 1st when the car is barely rolling forward. And when the car is cold, the 2nd and 3rd gear grind. I thought it's the synchros, but now I have some hope the clutch may not be disengaging completely, causing the grinds.
