Resolved Clutch sticking to the floor?

[dugjr24]

I have a problem when my car is cold my clutch will stick to the floor. It is sometimes hard to put it into gear and sometimes it isnt. Once my car warms up my clutch is fine. Is this my master cylinder going out possibly? Or is is something with the clutch fuid line? let me knoe what you guys think.

My car does that every once in a while while its cold. Its a hydralic clutch so I would think it has something to do with the fluid gettin cold. My master cylinder went bad before and my clutch would go all the way down and then if you like primed it up it would work a little but it was constant and had nothign to do with temperature.

You may have a very small leak, which is allowing the hydraulic pressure to "bleed off" when the car is sitting. I.e., overnight. Afetr you pump it a few times, and the fluid heats up, pressure can be sustained. Check for any leaks. I would also be very suspicious of the master cyl.

That is exactly what it was was I have a small leak in my master cylinder and after I bled the system it worked fine. I am probably going to have to replace the the master cylinder. Or I can just bleed it every once in awhile.

Call me strange but isn't the clutch sticking to the floor one of the early signs of crankwalk?

first try flushing the system. brake fluid is VERY hygroscopic and you could easily have some water in the system that is freezing or lowering the freezing point of the brake fluid. Also in the summer, you may have trouble with the fluid boiling and the clutch needing to be pumped a few times to compress the vaporized water in the line.

your not telling me!!! I would like to blame the winter for my waterpump and mastercylinder

And I am going to guess your clutch mastercylinder needs to be replaced. I just got that done a month ago. Pretty simple and not very exepnsive either.

My clutch suddenly went to the floor one day... and never came back up...

I ripped a hole in the Slave Cyliner little boot thingy.. and it leaked all the fluid out.. and destroyed it...

Just finished replacing my master clutch cylinder this weekend for the exact same problem. Winter Kills.
