Clutch Pedal
 

Well not a good start to the day!
Started off to work this morning, got the car into first gear. Went about 15ft and went to put the car in neutral to coast down the driveway and the clutch pedal goes to the floor and stays there :cry:
Driving yesterday there was no indication of any issue with the clutch so this morning really caught me by surprise.
Bad news was the problem with the pedal, good news was it had the decency to go in the driveway and not out on the road.
Any thoughts as to how big of a problem I have? The pedal needed to be moved off the floor by hand.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you check your fluid?

I am at work now but will check when I get home. I am basically trying to get a feel for the severity of my problem. I am just hoping that the clutch itself is not what is causing the problem.
Thanks for your input

Bleed out, maybe got air in the line

Have you done any mods to the pedal or clutch?
Air, low fluid, etc should have given some sort of indication before complete failure unless it happened overnight while the car sat.

Gotta do the simple checks; fluid, could be air, bleed the line etc.

no mods to the clutch or pedal, like I said operation seemed fine yesterday and this morning not:iono:

Absolutely! Just trying to get suggestions as to what it may or may not be! Not really fair to anyone replying but Just trying to get a feel for what may be going on!
Thanks.

On a side note are the master and slave cylinders accessible to check and/or replace?

Yes, Right on top of the transmission is the slave..Master is right on the firewall.

Thanks for the reply!

If the clutch pedal stays on the floor it sounds like your throw out bearing or master cylinder has failed.

Tcoat,
