Clutch Sticks To the Floor

My clutch sticks to the floor, but only sometimes. When i press and hold it i can hear the slave cylinder slowly going back in. I replaced the slave and made sure there were no air bubbles. But it sill does the same thing. Can anyone tell me what is going on.

You may need a New master too,Now.
The old components can't keep up with the New ones,.
When you Do the Clutch hydraulics On the Car,it is Best to Replace it all Essentially,.
The Master,the Clutch line and the Slave.That way every part is "proportional" to each other and can take the Pressure.

Get a master cylinder, slave cylinder, and new line (steel braided if you want). You should be able to search around and get all three brand new for around $125.00. They are not very hard to swap out.

I would recommend doing this asap, as it could be a major safety issue.

It's the seal in the master bleeding pressure back to the reservoir which releases your slave cylinder.

Replace master cylinder and the line as you've said you already replaced the slave.

Had the same problem loooooong time ago. It was the master cylinder. Make sure you bleed it properly.

This happened to me. I rebuilt both the master + slave cyl + bled them. No problems anymore!

I have a freshly rebuilt master cyl. I'll sell it to you if you want. PM me.

I have another question. What is the difference between the master cylinder for normal suspension and AAS. And is there a similar difference with the slave. I have AAS and i called up some local dealer and no one had AAS master in stock? When i bought Slave from NAPA no one asked me about AAS or normal suspension!

The clutch master cylinder should have nothing to do with the suspension. The master cylinder is the same for n/a to turbo but the slave is different.

I replaced the master i got the "normal suspension" clutch master according to my local parts shop. But it fits in perfectly and know my clutch pedal is amazing. It feels like butter, cant believe i was driving around with my old master.

Thanks Guys XD
