How the hell is my clutch fucked up?!?!

Well about 3 weeks ago my clutch went completely out!!! So.. I got me a brand spankin new ACT HDSS clutch put in, I only drove it for only 548 miles and the damn clutch is already fucked!! It feels like its completely out, I cant even get the car into gear, I have no idea why or how the hell this happened, I never even went over 3000rpms, well only couple times up to about 3800rpms because of the traffic, I been really easy on it and I never ever put the heat on this clutch!!! Im so pissed, it freakin cost me a grip for the damn clutch and installation.. So now im car less and broke!!!!! BTW my car isn't even here at home, I had to leave it at a parking lot about 10 miles away!!! So now I gotta pay for a freakin tow!!

Im calling the guy at the shop tomorrow to tell him the problem because there is no way the clutch is gone after only 548 miles and babying it. They better do something about this, atleast I hope!! I dont even know if there is a warranty?? Man I'm so pissed off..

 

check the clutch fluid. could be a leak in the slave/master cyilinder. In which case, you wont be able to change into any gears + the clutch pedal goes straight to the ground without any pressure.

 

most likely what it is

 

s one of your cylinders is leakin

 

theres no such thing as clutch fluid alex

 

 

Go easy on him shannon, he doesn't know any better

 

okay fine. Brake fluid that goes in the clutch reservoir for each cylinder same shit fucker!

 

im with all you guys on the possibility of no clutch fluid or slave master cylinder. and hopefully that is the case.

 

Hope you dont have to pay anything. Did you go to a shop that warranty's your work? Did you but the clutch for them or did you buy it from somewhere else and have them install it?

If you bought it else where you may have a problem, because they probably wont warranty the clutch.

 

IE: Hydraulic fluid

 

It has to be a fluid leak in the slave master cylinder, I think I went a lil overboard thinking my clutch was a goner, lol, because it felt exactly the same when my clutch went out a few weeks ago...


Yeah I hope I dont have to pay anything to. I ordered the clutch through them and I dont even know but im pretty sure they do warranty there work, atleast they better!! BTW im still waiting on this guy to give me a call back!!

 

if its the slave master cylinder which it most likey is. than your fine. there like 30 bucks and labor is DIY.

 

 

if it's a matter of semantics then fuck it lol.. I know what Im trying to say and thats what's important

 

Fixed!
I found the leak on the slave cylinder, it didnt take to long to replace. Clutch pedal feels even better now.

 

Suite

Glad it was cheap!

 

 

you top off your clutch fluid?

 

glad your fixed,she looks too good to be parked

 

go to hell
