Question about soggy clutch
Bought a 92 Toyota Corolla from neighbor and he told me the clutch was going bad but what I've found is the clutch pedal sinks so obviously it would seem to be the master cylinder is going out right? But, BUT before I go out and replace the master cylinder, I wanna run this by you folks out there that know these things better. Basically when the tranny is in neutral the clutch holds pressure completely but once I'm in gear the clutch starts losing pressure BUT only after I've let out the clutch; MEANING that as I'm holding the clutch pedal down and I shift into 1st gear and I push the pedal back and forth BEFORE THE FRICTION POINT the pressure holds just fine. But once I let the pedal out to the friction point, then I can feel the clutch lose pressure. In fact at the friction point I can feel the pedal lose pressure immediately. Thus when I'm having to clutch in either 1st or 2nd gear in heavy traffic I can feel the pedal heading for the floorboard. To get the pressure back I have to put the tranny in neutral OR let the pedal all the way out and the then I get my pressure back. Checked the slave cylinder and there's no juice dripping out of it. So: is it the master cylinder or something else I'm not aware of. Thanx in advance. |

It's one of three things: The master cylinder, slave cylinder or the
hydraulic line. My first choice would be the slave cylinder because it is exposed to the elements. |
