[B]For the past couple of weeks the clutch pedal feels like it gets stuck to the floor (tacky feeling).
I think it might have something to do with the pedal

See Helm Manual 12-4 for clutch adjustment. Could be a switch adjustment.

Since you've already checked the fluid and checked the clutch adjustment, it might be one of a couple of things.
  1. Air in your clutch fluid line. (You may have to bleed the system.)
  2. Faulty clutch master cylinder. (Replace)
  3. Faulty clutch slave cylinder. (Replace)
  4. One of your clutch disc springs may be getting stuck. (Replace)


If it's under warranty, take it to a dealer you know who does good work.

Mine has has actually been doing the exact same thing for about two weeks. I dropped it off at the dealer yesterday so they could take a look at it. I called for an update when I read this and my service advisor said they are going to have to pull the tranny and he will call me as soon as they get a diagnosis. I will let you know what I hear. Have you had the TSB done for the clutch ringing yet? I had mine done about 8 thousand miles ago and I think that is the problem. How many miles do you have?

Had the TSB done a while back.
Got about 23K total now.

Thanks for the info!

No problem. I still haven't heard from my service advisor so I don't have a diagnosis yet.. I am at 20K miles right now so we are running about neck and neck.

Mike, I'm not getting the pulsar action and the other strange thing is I can't hear the throw-out bearing at all. Most cars I've had, I can hear the throw-out bearing if I listen for it (when nothings wrong).


Maybe the pull type PP setup leave bearing engaged at all times.

tick.....tick....tick........is right

I got my car back Friday afternoon. The dealer found a "weak" pressure plate whatever that means. Under warranty they replaced the flywheel, pressure plate, and throwout bearing.

I hope this helps.
