Clutch Pedal keeps Depressed!!! SOLVED!
Have any of you encountered this problem before?
I was driving normally today (no gunning or anything) and all of a sudden when I pressed the clutch pedal, it stuck at that position (very dangerous). so I got my foot under the pedal, and pulled it back to its position. this happened when I pressed the clutch pedal for a long time (like backing up in a parking spot, picking up the car from stop in first gear). This problem just started today. And when i parked the car in my garage, (I slowly get it in the garage) i kept the clutch depressed and then took my foot off it and it not only stayed in that position, but it depressed even more! help me! my car: 05 tC manual 107K miles Greddy 18G turbo kit at 8psi Clutch masters stage 4.5 un-sprung clutch... had it on the car for bout 7-10K miles never gave me a problem Any info will be great! this is the issue https://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3361/imag0257v.jpg |
I would get a friend in the car and you pop the hood and have a look at the clutch fork and such on the transmission. Have your friend pull the pedal up and press it again and see what's happening.
I don't know what would cause this, but you should check under the hood as well. |
that just recently happen to my civic it was the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder was replaced and that worked for me
but luckily i drive a auto scion so thats something i shouldn't have to be looking forward to that |
isn't there a return spring on the clutch pedal? have you checked that?

I'm gonna bump this because it's only maybe 3 weeks old.
What was the end result? How did you fix it? I have the same problem with very similar setup. 50k miles, dezod kit, cc stage 4 with 7-10k miles on the clutch and my pedal stayed depressed. |
OMG this is happening to me! did this issue get resolved?! I need to know what's going onnnnnn

KIDD" |
pm'd scionkidd!! please replyy backkkk

Sorry for the late reply guys... but yes this issue was solved completely!
It was the clutch's master cylinder that failed. the work order from Toyota stated " master cylinder failed, no internal pressure" and now the car's clutch peddle feel is like the day I got the car. So smooth and it engages very early... and there is no "stiff" feel when you depress the clutch |

ouch. i hate when expensive maintenance bills pop up. glad it's fixed though.
|
Yea, I had same problem but it was master and slave cylinder. Both had to be replaced. First the shop did the slave and it helped the pedal a lot but after they did the master it was back to normal again. Bill for both was around $400

I had this problem on my 94 Integra couple years ago, I bought the car to the mechanic and he told me that it might cost $500 or only $25. $500 is failure on the master and slave cylinder, $25 is there might be air got in because my clutch fluid went out but I didn't know. He tried to get the air out first and it worked, after that I just had to keep an eye on the clutch fluid level. I was happy that he fixed it for $25.

i am having the same problem right now
and i have an idea eaither its people who have aftermarket clutches installed or its has to do with the mileage cause i just hit 50k and it seems that people who are right around that range of milelage anywho i will be having this fixed tomorrow i will post back with costs and pictures of the fix so that other can diy |
