Default Frickin Clutch problems!

Ok I've got an 04 AP2 that suddenly lost alot of pressure in the clutch pedal while i was shifting into 3rd ( keep in mind i baby the hell outta this damn car). It eventually began to loose grip after shifting and got worse within days, i'm no expert but i sounds like time for new clutch. So i took to the shop and they installed a stage2, guess what problem still exist. Should'nt a stage 2 grip like super glue and should'nt the pedal be a bit heavier than oem standard?? PLEASE PLEASE somebody help me before i spend more cash on wrong parts ,slave cylinder and master cylinder is my next guess. I'll give $100.00 bucks to whomever gives me advice that fixes prob, i'm that frustrated and fed up. THANX IN ADVANCE!!!!

hey this happened to me just the other day....i bled the system and it was fine after that. You may also have a leak on the interior side of the clutch master cylinder, check it for leaks.

the clutch master cylinder arm is also adjustable.....if after all this there is no pressure still make sure you check the entire system for leaks or a loose seal. Maybe even take the slave cylinder apart and clean it!!

Its not. Its pretty much ur standard forum site.

And giving up on your car just because you have 1 simple problem, seems a bit silly to me.

This site is full of valuable information. The search button is your friend. It would behoov you to educate yourself on owning one of these fine cars. Or just general maintenence if thats all you are interested in.

Just dont lose faith b/c of 1 simple problem that could happen to any manual transmission vehicle.

1. Bleed teh poop out of the clutch. Almost to the point of replacing all the fluid.
2. Adjust the arm as others have suggested.

If after that the problem is still there. Maybe purchase a new Master cylinder.
