clutch just suddenly failed....pedal to the floor, no pressure
If there is no pressure at all, most likely the throw-out bearing fork rod or the linkage to it broke. If a pressure plate is worn, or t/o bearing bad, flywheel scorched, all that you would sttill feel pressure on the petal. Check linkage. sometime the rod that pushes the t/o rod fork will fall out of the rod. It's not attached, held in place only by spring pressure. Easy fix if that's the case, caused by out of adjustment. Good luck , hope that's all it is. Worst case all pressure plate componets destroyed and nothing to give petal something to push
It just occured to me that if it's a hydraulic clutch, forget all that' You don't say what year. Look for oil on floor or driveway, whatever plave you park.
thanks Mark it is optra 2004 manual actually when this hapend it is not possible to put gear in shift
First, it is possible. Put it in gear with the engine off, and if you know what you're doing, you can actually drive the car. It would take far too long to explain how to do that that here, but you can get going and shift without the clutch without the clutch disengaging at all, Takes practice but when you do figure it out it's easy
i have same car my clutch went and had no pressue i had to tow to mechanic cuz i couldnt shift at all anymore, somehow i have air in the line so all we did was bleed air out and i had clutch again....only temporarily tho. not sure what the real problem is yet or how air is even getting in line cuz there is no leak at all.
Foxy, if you pump your clutch with the feet when you car is started, it will work... but it is just temporary. you wont need to call the tow anymore. i discover that few days ago...
Endive, i was able to keep my car going by doing that thanks but still have no idea what the actual problem is yet. Havent been able to take it to garage yet. Do you have any idea what the actualy problem might be?
