clutch problems
 

Ok.. I just took my eclipse out of storage and when i frist started it up the clutch pedal stuck to the floor. so i let it sit for a little bit thinking it was just cold..and i went out and again and pulled it up and started pumping it and then it was working alright. but today it did the same thing and i did the same thing but on the freeway it wasn't working at all. the pedal was just staying down. and i let it run for like a hour to see if that would help but it didn't the was fuild in the resivor..and it won't go into gear when the clutch is pressed down..any ideas

Replace the clutch master cylinder. Its called Phantom clutch...http://www.roadraceengineering.com/c...ywheeltech.htm

If you haven't already, buy a fucking service manual.

That would be a problem with the clutch master/slave cylinder. I would check under the dash to see if its leaking down the inside of the fire wall, or check the slave to see if its leaking there. It could be a leak in a line? What clutch do you have in the car and do you have a SS clutch line?

It is a stock gs-t. I dunno what clutch it is. I didn't see any thing underneath the car. but i didn't check the fire wall.

You can leave your car running for 6 days if you want and it is not going to make any difference.

1. Open your service manual and check out the section on troubleshooting clutch related issues. Not only will that give you troubleshooting tips, but it will describe to you exactly where your clutch release (slave) and master cylinders are.
2. Check the slave cylinder for signs of fluid leakage.
3. While checking the slave cylinder, check your clutch line for signs of fluid leakage.
4. Check your master cylinder for signs of fluid leakage.
5. Determine what needs to be replaced. If your slave and/or master cylinder needs replacement, call Chris Cabe at Brookdale Mitsubishi and he'll get you what you need. If your clutch line is blown, which I highly doubt since you said above that the clutch worked alright after pumping it, buy a braided stainless line. If your clutch line is not blown, buy a braided stainless line for the simple fact that braided stainless does not expand and cause a reduction in line pressure like the OEM lines.

Same exact thing happend to me. Just replace the master cylinder and be done with it. Trust me. I replaced the slave cylinder too just to be on the safe side and then I wouldnt have to worry about that going bad.
