Hi,
I am having a problem with my clutch hydraulics. Last year I replaced the slave on my clutch because it looked like it was losing fluid. Shortly after that my clutch went. I had the clutch replaced. Shortly after I was hearing screeching noises from the clutch and it was hard to shift. If I pumped the clutch pedal it would work ok for a while. The clutch fluid was also going down. I assumed that I had not bled the system correctly and or maybe there was a leak. I left the car in for the winter. A couple of weeks ago I tried to bleed out the system, but the pedal would not return. I replaced the master with a none GM part. The safety switch was also bad so I temporally bypassed it. I bled the system out. Now I cannot shift at all.
I noticed that the pedal is only a couple of inches from the floor. It is much closer then the brake pedal. It may have been this way before and I may not have noticed. There is some ware in the carpet showing that it has made contact for a while. It this normal? Is it also possible that the master does not have capacity to move the slave piston far enough? The rod from the slave to the clutch is in the proper place, but there is some free play. This is driving me crazy. It is such a simple system but it is not working.
I would appreciate any help. As the weather gets wormier I get more desperate.
Thanks.
