I'm having trouble with my clutch. It started a week ago, the clutch started slipping in high torques. The problem just got worse and worse, and now the car won't beraly move. At first when I pressed the pedal to the floor, the pedal got stuck for a couple of seconds and then popped back into position. This gradually got worse and now when I press it down I have to pull it back to get it back into position. Could this be some kind of return spring or something that is broken?
Or do you have any other suggestions?

Happy newyear!!
 
have you check your cluch fluid lately?

if its dry it means your clutch master cylinder is leaking you need to change it thats what happened to mine.
 
Agreed.

Its a clutch problem. Your clutch definetly sounds like its dying too. Is it stock?

Usually only on a hard left turn.

Check yoru clutch hydraulics.
 
I had the same problem except when my car was sitting in the back and i tried to turn it on the clutch just fell in and i took my clutch master cylinder and just took it and and put it back on and it worked for me because i just changed my clutch i just put my clutch master cylinder the wrong way so it makes a UGLY sound when i let go of the clutch

replace the clutch and the master and slave cylinders
Which clutch would you prefere? I'm planning on replacing my turbo to get around 300HP. Do you mean The cylinders are deffect, I need to replace them?
 
I would check the clutch fluid to see if its dry, like gunmetal said. Then next try changing master and or slave clinder (slave is cheap like $30) and finally new clutch. Since you are AWD, I would recommend the ACT2600 clutch. People say its a lot firmer than stock.

Thanks to the replies. I was looking for the reservoar for the clutch-oil today and found i Nice pud of greenish oil under the car. So I guess the master/slave sylinder is leaking, A friend of me told me a gasket in the master cylinder was most likely leaking.
Do you know where I can get the gaskets for the master/slave cylinders? It isn't neccesary to change the hole cylinder is it!? Unless it is cracked or something, which isn't much likely... And one more thing, I can't find the reservoar for the clutch oil. I thought it was the smaller reservoar next to the brake fluid reservoar, but this one has oil to the max level. Where can I find the reservoar?
