rhymobot Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Hi. I was driving and out of nowhere, the pedal sticks. So I turned out of plaza and was in first gear, and when I went to release the clutch, it didn't come up. I had to stick the toes of my shoe under to pull it up. Then when I shifted to second, same thing. Third and fourth were fine. Didn't try fifth. I drove around the local roads a few more minutes and it keeps happening. I have had a look and can't figure out why. Don't know much about cars but from what I have read, there is a clutch cylinder that could have gone bad? How much would that cost? The clutch fluid reservoir is full. However, I don't think that has been changed for years if at all. Any advice on what to do next? Should I bring it to the dealer? Or any reputable shop? Both are 5 minutes away. Thx. Edited April 27, 2015 by rhymobot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Any shop can bleed the clutch and test it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhymobot Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Mech said it was the master cylinder. It has been replaced. However, now my car has delay before starting. Like 1-2 seconds after turning the key. Then it starts. No cranking, just silence. I'm going to make another thread about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokchakra Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I have an 06 ford fusion 2.3L with 240k on it. Bought it at 170k. Ive has the old gal for 5 years and 80k hard miles. Just replaced the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, flywheel, torque strut mount, clutch master, clutch slave cylinder, my rear main seal was absolutely dumping oil. I initially had pressure after buttoning everything up but felt low engagement so i re bled the system and my pedal would stick to the floor. Ended up finding slave was allowing air into the system when i would press in the pedal. Now shes good to go lol also if you have the shared reservoir theres a line from the brake master that goes to the clutch master that can get hard and gunky. But. You have the luxury of having to pull the battery and removing the ecu to access the clutch master if you have the 2.3l 😂 anyway i know it probably doesnt matter to you persay but maybe someone like me looking for help might find this info helpful in getting theirs to start cooperating. Pro tip get a buddy to help you and if you have something to create vacuum will help burp the air out if it wont initially gravity bleed once installed that'll make it a lot less infuriating 🙂 who knows maybe your fusion isn't as rude as mine. Im just gonna keep fixing her until she doesn't have it in her. Im shooting for 500k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
