sticking clutch

[cgomez1978]

a couple of months ago my clutch was sticking half way and then springing back. after a couple of mins it was back to normal and everything was fine. Today on my way home from bristol it started doing the same again but this time the pedal went straight to the floor and i couldnt select any gears and had to pull the pedal back up with my foot. so i called the recovery and left it at that. after twenty mins the car was back to normal and running fine. ive done a search and couldnt find anyone else having similar problems. i was just wondering if anybody new what is wrong with it.

Cheers

Carl

Hi Carl, when you search try putting and inbetween the search words, e.g. sticking and clutch.

 

It kicks up a fair few hits including this one which sounds similar

I think it does it when its really hot and stuck in traffic ? Maybe boiling the clutch fluid ?

could be some truth in that as i can pretty much gurantee it will stick half way up when im launching it of lights

I had the same thing happen to me. The slave cylinder seals failed and the clutch pivot fork snapped off. hope it just needs a bleed mate.
