I believe my clutch went out but not to sure , I was driving my car popped it into 1st gear went in smooth then went into 2nd gear and it grabbed but then my clutch peddle stayed on the ground and I pulled back up with my foot and now the clutch peddle is stuck at the top . I took it to the mechanic before this incident happened and they told me it was my pilot baring going out but a few days later this happened to my clutch . I was told it could be that I need a whole new clutch kit or just replace the clutch master cylinder please help ?

 

Have you checked to see if your CMC is leaking, or if you have any fluid in your reservoir? It sounds to me like you went low on fluid or there's a leak/air in the system because the clutch went to the floor and didn't come up.

You'll be able to check if the cmc is leaking by looking down in the footwell. It's my understanding that they begin to leak with age quite easily. The slave could also be a culprit, but i've never seen any issues with them during my reading.

Start there first. If it's not leaking, you may be low on fluid. Fill the reservoir if you're low, and try bleeding the system.

If all of that doesn't help, then it's probably new clutch time.

 

Well yeah man ima check that out , theres fluid in there I know of that forsure .. how would I get the air out if theres air in the system ? My clutch peddle went down and it felt loose so I pushed it back up with my foot while I was driving and it stayed stuck at the top where clutch usually sits at

There's the clutch bleed diy.

It could be something different, but when i hear "clutch pedal sunk to the floor, and i had to pull it up," i immediately think of a loss of pressure in the system.

 

So then I should bleed out the clutch first ?

 

That's what i'd do, after checking for leaks. it's free and easy to do. rule out the easy stuff before jumping to the worst conclusion.

 

If your clutch won't engage you'll most likely need a new slave. Luckily they're cheap, about $60 for a brand new oem one, cheaper if you go the used route, and it's easy to replace provided you can get under the car. Just take off the rubber boot that covers it and the fork, unbolt the two bolts that hold it on, and the bolt that holds the hose in place. Reassemble in reverse and you're done. Bleeding the master regularly is a good idea, it's the best thing you can do to keep it from leaking.

To gravity bleed it, put fender covers or something to protect your paint, then just use a turkey baster, remove the old fluid from the reservoir, and clean it as good as you can and refill it. Then go under the car, and take off the rubber nipple for the bleed bolt, drain it into a container with a plastic or rubber hose, I believe a 3/16 internal diameter hose will do the trick. Then just undo the 8mm bleed bolt and fluid will come out, quickly. Go to the reservoir and add fluid. Make sure you don't drain the fluid completely because you don't want air in the line, if you have someone to help all the better. Once clean brake fluid comes out of the hose your work is done. Tighten up the 8mm bolt put the rubber nipple back on, top off your reservoir and you're good to go. Shouldn't take more than 10 min.

 

have you checked the rod on the slave? maybe it popped off jammed. you can clean that part, polish it and regrease it. bleed out clutch system. try that first, its free.

 

Thanks alot guys ima try all these things

 

How many miles on the s? Check master & slave cylinder for leaks/dampness. Could be air in the line (due to bad leaky line). Just bleed it and report back.
