My Clutch Engages At The Floor

A clutch pedal is made for the driver to release the clutch and engage the clutch.

My clutch engages at the floor.

Failed clutch release bearing. There are four components that can cause the clutch pedal go all the way to the floor. I m updating this because two identical cars with the same symptoms had two different causes. The second beetle mentioned in this thread has now finally been repaired progressed to the point that the owner broke the shifter getting it into gear.

Clutch pedals that go from the rest position to full engagement but stay on the floor and don t spring back up indicate a problem. Broken lever on the pedal top. Non last this long. The most common reason to have a clutch pedal that goes all the way to the floor is a broken clutch cable.

The clutch cable runs to a throw out fork and bearing. Pedal at floor dis engages it. When you press the clutch your foot counters the diaphragm spring which presses the friction disc to the flywheel. My guess is the clutch drags unless i push the clutch pedal 100 to the floor.

A clutch that doesn t engage fully or slips under heavy load is the normal failure mode of a worn out friction disc of pressure plate that has lost its tension. Clutch fails to engage properly. Replacing the cable will allow you to engage the clutch and change gears once more. Bad cable is 90 cause.

No free play is way too loose. We would like to show you a description here but the site won t allow us.
