So tonight while I was reverse parking outside of my apartment my clutch pedal got stuck about 1/3 of the way up. Also my car would not shift out of the reverse gear. After messing with the shifter I was able to put my car back into neutral, however my clutch is still stuck. Any advice on what the problem could be? I hope it's not crankwalk.
 
Have you checked your clutch line, resevoir for any leaks? The best thing is to start there and re-bleed the clutch. Also check you clutch pedal adjustment. Most likely it's your master or slave cylinder. I just replaced both of mine and put on a ss clutch line complete 2G kit from JNZ.
 
It's probably either your master or slave cylinder. I'd first bleed the line to make sure no air is in there and try adjusting the master cylinder rod located behind the clutch pedal. If the problem still persists I'd consider rebuilding the hydraulic cylinders (it's way cheaper to rebuild them and really easy to asemble). You should also look into a SS clutch line that bypasses the reservoir.

EDIT: ah was beat the the punch ^^

Make sure to also check your adjustment...that will eventually cause the pedal to stick again...trust me.
 
Damn.. I was just going to say the same thing.. Every time I have seen that happen, its been the slave cylinder...

Too slow, I guess.. ttthhhppp
