Description of the problem | Clutch pedal broke when shifting to 4th gear and disengaging clutch. Traveling at approximately 40 mph, there was a loud snap when i released the clutch. When i attempted to re-engage the clutch, there was significant lateral movement and little to no pressure. Had to pull over and coast to a grinding halt in gear. If this had happened at freeway speeds, coming to a stop while in gear on the side of the freeway would have been dangerous. |
