Odd Clutch Issue

I know somebody has a quick answer so I will venture forward and ask --- I replaced and rebuild the transmission about a year ago, so I think everything is ok there, but recently the began engaging while the clutch pedal is on the floor!

Not always, but every so often I am holding in the clutch in and it engages, leaving the clutch pedal is stuck to the floor. I have to pull it pack up with my foot. Getting it out of gear can be a real pain too when it does this. Clutchless shifting has been useful

But - my suspicion is that the seal in the clutch master cylinder is shot. My friend already bled the clutch system and this did not help. Any thoughts or other suggestions?

Thanks!

I had this problem, the Slave was no good, had to replace it. Might want to think about getting a new clutch?

hydraulics. Best bet is to replace the master and the slave. Hose is optional.
No you don't need a new clutch.

Thanks, I think the slave may have already been replaced a few years ago. I will check my receipts and if it was I will definitely just get a master.

i suggest not driving until the car is fixed. my 7 did that for two days and my master cylinder finally decided to die on me. i think its the master, but you may want to consider changing both if both parts are old.
