    I had shifting trouble with my car. Three mechanics said I needed a new clutch. My slave cyl. Was low on fluid. Cost me 25 cents. I had to fix it myself. They wanted $2000 for a new clutch.

      That's cool, but, why was the fluid low? Brake fluid doesn't evaporate, so there's a leak, all be it a small one, there's a leak non the less

      Sometimes I have pressure, sometimes not.
      2006 LS-2 GTO WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES.
      IVE HAD TO BLEED IT TWO TIMES, PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO FLOOR, NO PRESSURE AT ALL.
      SOMETIMES PUMPING AND PUMPING WILL BRING BACK PRESSURE...I IBSERVED BUBBLES COMING UP IN RESIVEOUR WHILE SOMEONE ELSE WAS PUMPING BUT FINALLY GOT BACK A GOOD CLUTCH.
      ONE VIDEO SAID IT COULD BE SIMPLY A $0.50 O-RING THATS OCASSIONALLY LEAKING IN SLAVE CLYNDER FEEDER LINE CONNECTOR.
      IM 74 A DISABLED VET... CANT AFFORD TO GET STRANDED.
      COULD IT BE THAT O-RING?
      SHOPS WANT $700 OR MORE SAYING IT NEEDS A NEW SLAVE CYLINDER BUT DONT MENTION THE ORING.
      WHAT CHA THINK?
      CAN THAT BE REPLACED WITHOUT PULLING THE TRANNY?

      Dude literally the same thing happened to me tonight! Well I wasn’t doing a burnout but I went to go leave and it wouldn’t go in gear unless it was off. Even then I turned it on in gear and still wouldn’t shift! I’m struggling trying to make sense of it. What was the problem and solution for your car? I’d appreciate any feedback 🙌🏼

      Sounds like the slave cylinder same happened to my vehicle , I had them change the whole clutch at the same time as it was near the end of its wear life, find out if your slave cylinder is outside or inside where the clutch is mounted, if its outside just get that done, that is of course if it ends up being the problem, if its inside figure out how old the clutch is, the majority of cost is in the labour.

    I had problems with my clutch after driving through floods. Clutch pedal was soft and wouldn’t return. Had to put car in gear (2nd) before starting then start car and let clutch out. It would clunk and everything would be fine for a while. I’ve not driven the car for a week and the method I’ve just mentioned doesn’t work. Clutch actually works at bottom 3 or 4 inches of pedal travel.
    Any ideas? Slave cylinder, thrust bearing? I’ve had the fluid changed a few weeks ago after the trouble. VW Passat 2.0 tdi 2014.

    I have a squeaking clutch that is stiff to push and gets stuck at the bottom so took it to a garage, they said the master cylinder was leaking and so replaced it. I was charge £400. The day after I got the car back I drove it for an hour and it’s still sticking and squeaking…I’m really unhappy they haven’t fixed the issue but before I go back, after watching this video am I right to think it’s the slave cylinder? Would this not have been easy for them to spot when they “traced the fault” as specified on their invoice. Just trying to make sure I don’t get ripped off.
