shaking clutch pedal and clutch stays engaged

[cougarelimin8or]

This first happened two weeks ago. It happened when i was decel on a road coming to a stop light and down shifting, I noticed my clutch pedal when a pushed it in had a vibration to it and when i came to a stop with the clutch in and the car out of gear it stalled. I started it back up and limped it into a parking lot with the cluch shaking really badly the whole time. Also when the clutch was shanking it would go to the floor and I'd have to reach down with my hand and pull the pedal back up cause it wouldn't return on its own like there was air in the system. I shut the car off and cheched everything out and the slave was dry as was the clutch master from the engine compartment and the boot on the inside of the passanger compartment (keep in mind this was in the middle of the night with a flashlight). I checked the fluid level and it was full but the fluid looked to have a dark gray color to it, looked like metal shavings. I started the car back up and tried it out and everthing worked fine again like nothing happened.

This has only happened three times. Twice the first day it happened, than not again till two weeks later. The car is driven everyday. When I bought the car it came with an ACT2600 and lightened flywheel.

Any ideas?

Have you ever replaced your slave and master cylinder ? They might be starting to fail.

I believe if the resovoir has dirty fluid there is a leak, most likely faulty master

I'm gonna flush the old fluid out with new and I have a clutch master and a cluch slave on the way. It'll be here tomorrow, so i'll change that out and let you know how it goes.
