Clutch failure
My clutch decided to fail on me on Friday while at the track. It was my first day at the track this year and it was the first session of the day. I was taking it easy just getting back into the groove and it happened virtually the same way as some others have described. Clutched in to downshift and the pedal went straight to the floor. Lifted my foot and the pedal stayed stuck. I pried the pedal up from the floor and it stayed out and was very hard to press and only had about a half inch to an inch of movement before rock hard. Shut the car off and pulled into the grass. After I tried to restart the car to limp off the track and the car will not turn over. Sounds like the electric motor is trying to turn the flywheel but it is seized and so all you get is a screeching. Brought it to the dealer and so far they have been trying to deny any warranty work. I'll keep this thread updated with updates/pictures as they become available.
