Hello, so for the past month or so, MY06 is becoming harder and harder to shift. As of today, it's almost impossible to shift. I have to force it in, and even then, sometimes it wouldn't go in. I would then have to turn off the car, shift to first, and then turn on the car. The past 2 or 3 times I've driven it, the clutch will act like it's half way engaged but will not stall out. I've read a couple other threads, and this one is most similar, if not spot on.

I didn't want to resurrect that thread since it's from 06. I thought there might be some new information out there.

The most common recommendations are:

Master/Slave Cylinder need replacing
Pressure plate dragging

My AP2 has had the clutch/pressure plate replaced about 15k miles/1 year ago.
Only has 69k miles.

Anybody else have/had this problem? What did you do to solve it?

 

What clutch setup or pieces were installed? Have you checked under the dash for the infamous master leak down the rod? What color is the fluid in the reservoir? Is it full?

 

1. Competition clutch w/ 9? lb flywheel
2. No I haven't checked yet, but I'll be doing that shortly
3. It's a translucent dark brown
4. Yes.

 

Bump

 

Your fluid shouldn't be that dark. I'd try replacing and bleeding the fluid. There's a DIY writeup somewhere on here.

 

If you look up above your clutch pedal you'll see a rod coming through the firewall. Check for fluid at that rod and just above and right of your dead pedal. That'll let you know if your master is leaking.
