Hello everyone, I recently just bought a 95 eagle talon tsi and when I was driving home the clutch peddle just dropped to the floor. Any ideas of what that could be? Possibly clutch or clutch slave cylinder?
 
Thats usually a master cylinder that is going bad if there is no loss of clutch fluid from the reservoir, if your losing fluid obviously you have a leak somewhere, line, slave or master can actually leak fluid.
 
The reservoir is full must be a bad master cylinder. I’ll just replace the master cylinder and see if that does the trick. My 95 talon is also blowing oil into the exhaust, just started doing it after I did a couple pulls in it, Does anyone know what causes the car to blow oil into the exhaust?
 
Take a look at the clutch fork to make sure it’s not broken. I’ve read some forks breaking but I’ve never experienced it.

Pull off the intake and see if there’s oil. You could be pulling it from the valve cover from too much pressure in the crankcase. Could also be turbo seals, valve guides or valve stem seals also.
 
This happened to me today, clutch slave cylinder the rod snapped and lost the return spring :ohdamn::ohdamn::ohdamn:

Its was a autozone duralast part, I'm surprised it lasted almost 5 years as I couldn't find a Aisin CSC, I replaced it when my MCS started leaking on the peddle side and did a braided SS line shortly after

Doesn't matter who made it. To bend like that something went wrong.
 
Duralast VS Aisin... ok im 100% sure the OEMs are stronger in alloy material than aftermarket...SOOOO It does matter
That's not what I'm saying. It takes a lot to bend a rod like that. How much force the rod normally sees is trivial compared to where it would bend. So it probably behooves you to find out what happened. Fork bottom out? Foreign object? Etc. Something caused this and it isn't because it's a cheap part. You don't want to repeat this or break something else.
 
After a quick replacement shes shifts normal again so my guess is a quality low rod from a aftermarket part, the rod snapped off, I pulled off the crossmemeber and fork boot so fork is not damaged im reassembled bleed and back on the road again ive heard rods snapping off, i just personally never had it happen to me in 13 years
