Clutch Stuck

[EastCoastDubz420]

I let my friend drive my car and the clutch got stuck to the floor. It popped right back up when u would grab it and pull up. It happened twice when he was driving it. I never had this happen to me and he wasn't doing anything wrong. Cold it be the cold weather? Should i lobe it up. My car only has 15k on it.

I have never heard of a clutch sticking to the floorboard........unless it was f'd up.

*Shameless Plug* If you need another clutch, I have a sweet setup for sale cheap. It is the VR6 228mm upgrade with a G60 14lb lightened flywheel. It is the ECS Stage I kit. I will sell for $300 plus actual shipping, it includes all parts you need for the job including new throwout bearing, and bolt kit.

I would be intersted but my clutch is still slip free plus i'm going to school in 3 weeks so broke until i get out. I'm thinking that its from the cold, this never happened before. When it was Almost to the floor i couldn't put it in gear either.

its not that its stuck in gear it just wouldn't go in gear when it stuck to the floor. The clutch is fine it doesn't slip at all

If it's under warranty, let them check it out. They'll probably try and screw u, but it couldn't hurt for them to look at it!

Yea Take it to the dealer, tell them whats up. Check the clutch cable also, just a thought.

I thought VW's ran on a Hydraulic cluch instead of a cable?

[White8vMk3]

Your probably right, mine has a cable, but then again I drive a MkIII

I had that problem in my first mk iv GTI - it's the master (slave?) cylinder for the clutch. It happened exactly like you described and only did it a couple of times but get it fixed because it could happen at any time (pulling out on a freeway). I have a friend who works at a dealership in AZ and he said it's happened to a few cars there too.

Right on the money...its either that or the system requires bleeding, but I would be leaning towards the slave cylinder.

Get it Checked Out!! javascript:emoticon('')
