    Default clutch cyl or slave cyl???

    My clutch pedal has been acting up since 2 days ago by completely going to the floor and I would have to put my foot behind it and pull it back out.

    I would pump it and then it would be fine for a few minutes and then do it again.

    Last night it went out completely. No more pedal at all. We bled the clutch line with no luck.

    Is it the slave cylinder or master cylinder and how can you tell?

    Thats wrong...

    Just as the above post said there is a master cyl. that is attached right behind the petal...

    Have you seen any fluid leaking? Is the fluid level going down at all? If not that means there is still air in the lines somewhere... I know on my 240 there is a speed bleeder valve with an extra length of hose that when air gets in it is REALLY hard to get it out. I am opting to just remove the speed bleader to avoid that problem...

    Also, did this just come on randomly and immediately? or was there something that brought it on?

    You sir are an idiot! Don't give advice when you don't know what the fuck your talking about.


    We found the problem and it wasn't either. There was a very small leak on one of the lines that was barely visable and we temporarily fixed it.
