Ok, i so just got the back half of my 5 lug conversion done and the LSD swapped in with a sub-frame swap.

During the swap the driveshaft came out of the tranny, no big deal right? just put it back in and you are good to go.

Well i put everythign back together and took it for a drive around the block. everything works great EXCEPT after i get around the block and go to pull into the driveway all of the sudden my clutch peddle sticks to the floor and is engaged all the time, had to kill the engine to stop.

Could the driveshaft cause this? any ideas?

First thing i did was top of the clutch fluid (was nearly full), then i bled the clutch.

Works fine when the car is off, press it in and it pops back out, hold it and it is fine as well.

But i went to pull into the driveway again and it once again locked tot he floor and stayed engaged.

Checked and the clutch really is engaged, not just the peddel stuck to the floor.

So what could cause this? my clutch has worked perfect from day one after i replaced the slave anyways. and it worked perfect pulling the car out of the driveway to work on it a few times the last week.

It seems to mainly stick when i am needing to slip the slutch, like when pulling into my 30 degree driveway.

When i went around the block everyhing seemed fine, no rattles, no wobbles, nothing strange.

So any ideas? what could be the problem? I finally have my car drivable and now this lol.

Sounds to me like a Clutch Master Cylinder going out.

Seems kind of odd that it would happen all of the sudden doesn't it? Not saying that is wrong, i thought that too but could not figure out why it would happen all of the sudden.

Can the master be rebuilt? or does it need to be replaced? How much those run new? Where can you get said rebuild kit/master Cylinder?

Any other ideas? is there any way on earth that the driveshaft or 5 lug swap could cause this? i can't think of any but that don't mean there ain't one lol.

It can be rebuilt but it is easier to fail again, I would replace it. Not that much but go OEM, www.mazdatrix.com

Clutch Hydraulics usually fail close to each other and this sounds like the problem when my master cylinder went out.

Well i was buying a radiator from a guy and he just happens to have a master cyl for $10, i figure for that price i will grab it and see what happens. Not like i am out much.
