| Description of the problem | Driving on freeway approximately 70-75 mph, when applying pressure to clutch pedal i realize there is little to no clutch pedal pressure and clutch pedal sticks to the floor and has to be pulled back with my foot. Felt slight pedal pressure at the end of pedal travel and disengaged and changed gears into neutral. Pumped clutch while in neutral to see if clutch pedal pressure could return to normal with no success. Clutch engagement remained the same at the very end of travel and would no longer go into gear. Continued pumping clutch pedal and was lucky to get back into sixth gear with a grind into gear to continue driving on freeway at speed. Still pedal continued to stick halfway or more down and had to be returned back to static position manually. Drove to local dealer since was on the way to intended destination where problem still occurred and each gear engagement being irregular to normal. Left car at dealers service department for overnight delivery since dealer service department is closed on sundays. Clutch pedal is still halfway depressed as left. |
