Description of the problem | Driving down the road, attempt to change into 3rd gear and my clutch pedal dropped right to the floor, which caused my car to jerk into the next lane as i wasn't expecting my foot to have freefall. After stopping the car, i found that my clutch pedal mount had broken away from the assembly causing my clutch to be unable to disengage entirely. The assembly will have to be replaced or welded to return to regular functionality. |
