So like posted on the title, i was driving fast went i tried to go to third i lost pedal pressure and it didn't go into 3rd gear. After that the pedal felt spongy and very little pedal pressure.


All gears go in fine when the car is off. I adjusted the pedal/master cylinder and it helped a little bit.


At very low rpms it works perfect in all gears "I'd say under 2k rpm" anything higher than that i have problems going into gear.


Now my question is should i try both Master and slave cylinders or is the pressure plate fu*cked? It doesn't slip at all as well????

Bleed it and see if it still does it. But I am sure its the pressure plate. How many miles?

180k, I believe it's the original clutch kit too.

To be fair, one could be the best driver ever, and still burn through clutches. The only way you get a whole box of miles on the stock clutch is driving carefully, which is another word for slow.

No wear occurs when you're not shifting. So if you drive 200 miles a day all highway, the thing should last you quite a lot of miles. However, if you're taking it to the max between gear changes, not so much. You could roast a new clutch in a few thousand miles if its a few thousand track miles.
