My clutch --- works when it wants to.

Whats the damn deal?

I can daily drive to work or around town just fine forever and see no problems at all. Problem is... when I drive for about 20+ minutes on the highway to the next town, I loose all the pressure on the clutch pedal. I drive in 5th gear all the way over there... then when I need to exit and want to shift, I press the clutch and it stays down... no pressure what so ever.

I then have to pump the pedal a few times (about 5x) until I start seeing pressure again, then shift into 4th... 3rd so on. Then its fine again. I can drive around the city and see NO problems. Then I get on the highway, drive for more than 20 mins or so and same thing!

Also, I didnt drive my car last weekend. So it sat from Friday until Monday. When I got in my car Monday, same thing. Since I hadnt used it for 3 days... the same thing happened. I had to pump the pedal... then all was well again.

What's really going on here??

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a Slave/Hydrolic Issue. All i can so for now is cheeck the fluid and or Bleed the slave

I dont know how but my mechanic said the same thing about mine...he said since it works just fine after pumping it up etc...and the fluid level is fine...it has to be something with the master or slave..(hydrolic system) because I thought it was crank walk setting in...he said no...

does getting your slave bleeded cost a lot of money? I know there is a vfaq somewhere around here that shows you how.. but I never have time these days to do it myself (or learn how).

Anyone have an idea? if its not that expensive.. I rather get it done somewhere.

thanks
