Angry clutch pedal sticking.

I bleed the clutch already don't work, but see it doesn't get stuck all the way.

it gets stuck where the FREE PLAY and CATCH POINT, basically in the middle.

I hate it to hell, because i was driving really hard around 7k! and found out it stuck, so i burn the clutch yesterday....

I'm not sure is it the master cylinder or etc. how do i check for ***** like that?

or because it isn't lubb'd enough? i'm try some grease on that biotch tomarrow and see.

I would replace the clutch slave cylinder, it's located right beside your oil filter, on top of your transmission. If they leak, you will let air into the system, hence it doesn't work.

Id put money on the master. You'll probably have to get it replaced anyways. Master cyl, along with just about everything on these cars, just wear themselves out about half the time it takes any other car to.

I had the same problem, nearly got me killed when my pedal stuck to the floor but the clutch released sending me out into an intersection. You can pick up a rebuild kit for the master and slave cylinders pretty cheap. Also check the line that runs between them, that was the problem with mine, had a pin hole in it that was letting air into the system. Good luck.

I have the same problem, only when I try to shift quick does the pedal get stuck. After testing my pedal while stopped, I could hear air being sucked, so I guessing it is the master cylinder.

If your Reservoir is holding fluid then slave cylinder is Ok.
And master is bad. And vice versa.

My car did that last week but stuck at the bottom. I had the clutch pulled and found out my clutch spring broke and that caused my clutch to break to pieces.
Imagine a pizza is your pressure plate now remove a couple of slices.

I change my master cylinder, and it held fluid fine. But the clutch still sticks.
