Clutch problem - urgent!

[Mike's_Taffeta]

Alright, I will go tomorrow before going to the shop. I hope they know what I'm talking about when I say "push lock hose" and don't just look at me like, "WTF is this kid asking for?" That's my only worry haha. So a regular vacuum line will not work, I will remember that just in case they try to sell me a vacuum line.

And I totally agree...I would work on my own car so much more if I had SOMETHING to put it under and stay dry. Not even a garage, I would settle for a car port or like a big sturdy tent. ANYTHING! haha.

Lol, they'll know what you're talking about when you say push lock, and if not then they need a new job.

So I guess now would be a bad time to post pics of my garage lol.

Update: Woke up at 7 today, went to Autozone, got the hose no problem, and then dropped off the car at the shop. Got ap hone call about an hour ago, and went to go pick it up. The problem is fixed! No more clutch pedal losing pressure at all. : The only thing wrong is that the pedal feels a little different - the engagement point, and it doesn't seem to be as stiff. Is this a result of the non-OEM master cylinder?

Well replace the hose first, then bleed the system. You never know how long its been leaking before it was noticeable.

Sounds right, I have no idea what else it could be besides the leaky hose.

Easy fix, replace the hose and have someone pump the clutch while you bleed the system. If you dont know how to bleed brakes or a clutch. Look online, its all over.

I saw your posts man, and I would have done this except there was no sign of damage to the hose, just a little bit of fluid on it. The leak has been only since last Saturday, March 27th, and I have had a problem since before then. I also did not have any extra time to try the hose, bleed it, see if it fixed the problem, then order more parts and wait for them to be delivered, and then find a time to have them installed, etc.

Alot of this was done out of the necessity because of the time crunch. I appreciate your input though. :leeann:

So were all parts replaced or just the hose?

 

[pattywak]

The hose, the master cylinder and the slave cylinder were replaced.

So I guess we could say it could have been any or all parts that caused the problem. Glad you got it fixed, hope I was a little help in assisting you with your problem.

Yeah, definitely man. Everyone who posted in this thread was a great help in this time of need.

The only thing left is the fact that the clutch still feels different. Softer is one word I would try to describe it, but I'm not entirely too sure. Could this be the result of just a different master cylinder?

Probably needs to be bled more. Unfortunately.
