6MT Issue

wuoltk · 01-20-2019, 03:37 PM

I was doing about 80 when I lost engine power and clutch pedal got stuck to the floor. Clutch doesn't seem to engage now at any gear including reverse. Also no codes.Thanks in advance.

Check clutch fluid reservoir. Sounds like air in lines, bad slave cylinder?

The system is a little bit above half right now. I was leaning towards a bad slave cylinder also. Waiting on a tow in Germany takes forever lol. Thanks for the help.

Also check hardline line behind clutch pedal mine developed a leak and fluid was leaking out of it.

I've read the clutch cylinder going aswell before.

It's made out of plastic... so yeah.

Thanks everyone. I was able to get the car to roll about 10 mph in first gear for a 1/4 mile before the tow showed now. Then nothing and 1st gear I can't get the power transfer anymore. Could release the clutch in first gear and the car won't stall. I get the car back to my house tomorrow and will update on what I found.
