On my way to work this morning, I was starting from a stoplight when my clutch all of a sudden crapped out on me. The symptoms are that the engagement point is now practically at the floor level instead of nearly at the top of pedal travel. Also, the pedal feels like it is fighting some resistance on the way down near the bottom (spongy). The car has 51K miles on it, and I do not abuse the clutch (riding it, high RPM launches).

Any ideas? Dealer says $2,300 if they have to do everything including the flywheel.

from what you said I assume the clutch still works somewhat so give it a try..

the bleed screw is up under the drive shaft on the side of the engine clutch. you will probably need a pressure bleeder also.

or maybe the slave. clutch is hydralic.

if the clutch drops down to the floor board then its the slave...spoungy then its the master cylinde

I am guessing this is it. Is access to the master cyl. easy (must drop tranny?)? Thanks.

Liam in Montreal

no, access to master cylinder is not thru tranny. about 2 hours of work
