aight, i've been searching for the answer all night and this was my last resort, to ask you fellas... here's the story... i was driving down rt.1 last night and was downshifting when the clutch got stuck and wouldnt come back up. i pulled over to a parking lot, ridin on neutral and parked. i checked my fluids and everything was straight and pulled up my clutch pedal... except for now the clutch was sticky, meaning, whenever i pushed down on the clutch to shift, it would lag coming back up. i went to my friends house and watched pride hoping that it was the fluid overheating but it was the same.... i replaced my clutch recently @ 70000miles and now i'm almost @ 72000... what is wrong? help!! is it the throw out bearing? or, god forbid, the clutch?? i appreciate it guys...

 

Could be throw out bearing, slave cylinder, or brake line is leaking. You might have air in your line (or a leak). bleed it. and make sure there is brake fuild filled. Who put the clutch in for you? You sure they did it right? If then, i'll say it's the slave cylinder. Take it back to the guy that put the clutch in for you and have him check it out. Good luck man

 

It's the master cylinder.....if your driving around and just driving regular, then it sticks half way....it's the master cylinder. I just had mine replaced AFTER they told me it was my clutch and flywheel.....they replaced the cluthc/flywheel and it still happened, turned out to be the master cylinder.

 

That's fock up Devon, they probably knew it was the mast cylinder and still told you to get the clutch/flywheel.

 

thanks a lot guys. i'll have that checked out.

 

Yea I went in and told them that and they were like, no it's the clutch and flywheel, I listened and got bent over for over 2 grand. After i brought it back the second time, I got $400 back....whoop teee dooo!

 

damn devon, they are always tryin to hold the white man down huh?

 

I went thru this with my Z........pedal stays on the floor and it never happens
when you expect it to. It's the slave/master cylinder for your clutch. It can
be rebuilt or replaced but that depends if it's still under warranty.

 

I agree with Mase4g63. it's either the master cylinder, slave cylinder, air in the line, or the release bearing. Even though the G35 is new to me, i've worked on several honda transmission. Definitely question that guy that replaced your clutch.

 

yeah, i asked the guy who replaced my clutch and he said it's probably the master cylinder too. i dont think i can take it in for about a week but would driving the car like this damage the clutch or transmission in any way?

 

Dont drive it, you dont want to mess up anything else.

 

yah i replaced my master cylinder before. def sound like either master cylinder or the slave cylinder

 

I had the same problem just happened yesterday.
It happened all the sudden when I took off from a stop light.
I brought it into the dealer yesterday afternoon.
I'm curious what they'll say about this problem.
According to them, if it's the throw out bearing, it's covered under warranty.
If it's the clutch or the flywheel, it's not.
But I doubt it's the clutch or the flywheel.

----- The dealer just called me on my cell phone while I was typing the message ----

They said the problem came from the pedals I installed -_-"
They said the clutch was sticky because the pedal I installed was caught by the carpet and floor mat...
I asked them if they check out the release bearing and all other related mechanics and they said they did.
I just feel like this is a joke. Pedal caught by the carpet/floor mat??!!
At least throw me a better excuse which is not that obvious nonsense / ridiculous.
They better hope that the clutch is fine when I go pick up the car this afternoon after work.

 

thats an insult to your intelligence

 

hahaha~ caught under your floormat eh? bs! anyway, you should get everything that i'm going to get checked out too. tell me how it goes. good luck!
