Clutch peddle stuck to floor
« on: 06 April 2014, 11:47 »
So I was about to drive to manchester sell my vr6 interior. Pulled up at traffic lights and then bang (there was no bang) the clutch peddle went to the floor. Obviously I can drive the car using the revs but what is it? Some say master, some say slave, some say the fluids. If it's either of the cylinder what kinda work are we talking?

the clip is only abot 30mm long it corrodes and snaps releasin the cable from the gear box arm - easy to fix - new clip and rubber block are only pennies new-assuming thats what happened to urs.

Arm still looks fine and the clip (if it's right one is still attached) should I be able to move the arm?
