SOURCE: 1987 944 clutch pedal stays on the floor

look, if the clutch pedal is to the floor, there are about 3 different things that could be wrong. First check brake fluid to make sure full, see if there is any leakage under steering wheel and below transmission. Next could be the slave cylinder, it could be faulty or not bled right. Last it could be the master cylinder. If when you bleed the slave cylinder and have no movement in the arm inside the transmission then most likely the master cylinder is broken. Look under the steering wheel and see if everything looks entact. Watch the movement of the pedal and see if movement looks normal and see if fully attached. Good luck. Check www.clarks-garage.com for any problem in which you want to fix yourself. Great free site.

SOURCE: no pressure clutch pedal goes straight to the floor 1988 holden r

If hydraulic actuated mechanism, loss of fluid, defective master cylinder or slave cylinder at the clutch. Missing pin or other part between slave cylinder and clutch arm. Loose or broken slave cylinder mounting. Missing pin or broken part between pedal and master cylinder. If mechanical linkage, look for broken components or missing pins at moving joints. If you tried to shift into gear with engine running, you may have damaged the transmission gears.

Have you got a hole in the floorboards????
It could be something loose in the clutch or just something ricochetting around the bell housing.

Why is the clutch on the floor

Clutch "on the floor" is rather unusual... Most of all clutch spring is the feel of the pressure plate holding the clutch disc against the flywheel... but there is typically a pedal return spring that will take out the slack before ANY pressure is applied to your throw-out bearing.

Clutch MALFUNCTIONS will affect gear engagement... excepting (of course) clutch slippage.

For this trouble you need to take a quick look under the dash at the pedal hangers... and piston plunger that activates the clutch cylinder (typically on the outside of your firewall).

Now look at the clutch MASTER cylinder... the connecting HOSE and the SLAVE cylinder. Any fluid TROUBLE IS THE KEY to your trouble.

The ideal TROUBLE would be a split hose... but compared to a FULL CLUTCH rebuild all of these parts are cheap and easy to replace. Typically only requiring bleeding the cylinders... and you are back on the road.

If everything looks good you are MOST PROBABLY going to need a new clutch master, slave, hose and appropriate hydraulic fluid.

BUT if you have NOT found that TELL-TALE hydraulic fluid... you had better have an ASSISTANT operate the clutch pedal while you determine were that MALFUNCTION is located.

If the pedal is working the clutch lever on the transmission... you are looking at a SERIOUS clutch rebuild.

ALWAYS REMEMBER to work on level ground, chock your wheels and use good jack stands... like your life depends on it... before getting under ANY CAR... It does!

Good luck and here's a wish for a cracked HYDRAULIC HOSE...!!

My clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor . Could this cause decrease in power

A clutch pedal normally does go all the way to the floor. If you can shift gear without a crunch, it is disengaging OK.

The loss of power could mean the clutch plate is worn and is slipping when engaged. There is a crude test for this. Start the engine and idle it. Apply the footbrake firmly, depress the clutch and put the gearbox in 3rd. Let the clutch out slowly. If the engine does not immediately stall, the clutch needs replacing.

Clutch petal stays up with too much pressure car stays in neutral like pedal is pressed to floor

Sounds like an internal clutch/pressure plate issue. Possible broken torsional vibration spring in the clutch assembly keeping clutch engaged. The transmission will have to be removed and clutch inspected/replaced.

Clutch pedal travel

Your pedal height may be adjustable by a stopper bolt at top of pedal. You would have to check the specification for your car. Most important that the pedal has about a half inch free travel before clutch begins to engage. You need that free play to ensure the release bearing (the throw-out bearing) is not touching the fingers on the pressure plate when not engaged. If it always is touching, it will be rolling around constantly and will go out prematurely.
Your new clutch will allow gear engagement sooner as the clutch pedal is released. I mean gears will engage just as pedal is lifting off from floor. You should notice that difference-the old clutch would have taken longer pedal travel from floor before releasing.

1999 pontiac sunfire clutch pedal stays down

The hydraulic clutch works much like the brake system, there is a master cylinder with a piston and spring that should keep the pedal up.
You may have to take the clutch master cyl off and inspect the internal parts.

2000 honda accord clutch problems

There is air in the system. The slave cylinder does provide pressure to return the pedal. Check to be sure that you have plenty of fluid in the master cylinder (clutch). Slowly work the pedal back and forth to try and remove air. (This usually works unless you have really lost all fluid. Once the air is remove depress the clutch while in gear. If it does not keep the car from moving then replace the slave and master cylinder. The parts are a little over $100. Hope this helps. I have one in the shop right now as a matter of fact...

Clutch goes to floor and stays

The trick to driving a manual transmission is giving gas very gently while letting the clutch up. The clutch only starts to engage when the pedal is about an inch and a half from the floor, so any gas you give before that will cause unecessary revving.
To get a feel for when the clutch engages, try the following excercise. Put the car in first gear and bring the clutch up ever so slowly without giving gas. At a certain point you will feel the clutch starting to engage and hear a difference in the sound of the engine. If you're bringing the clutch up too fast the car will stall. If you bring it up slowly enough the clutc will start to engage and you will begin to advance.
This excercise will develop your motor skill to manipulate the clutch effectively and will allow you to know exactly when to give gas when letting the clutch up.
